BARTÓK String Quartet No. 3 (arr. Stanley Konopka for double string orchestra)
BARTÓK Suite from “The Miraculous Mandarin”
This release from The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst was recorded live at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Concert Hall at Severance Music Center in January 2024.
“This recording pairs two of Béla Bartók’s most challenging and ingenious works. In the String Quartet No. 3 (which Assistant Principal Viola Stanley Konopka arranged for string orchestra) and Suite from The Miraculous Mandarin, Bartók creates a new musical path forward by masterly combining influences from folk tunes and elements of the avant-garde to create works of lasting power.” — Franz Welser-Möst
