BARTOK: Viola Concerto / 2 Pictures, BB 59
The sketches Bartók left at his death for a Viola Concerto were first assembled and completed by his pupil, the composer and violist Tibor Serly. Recent study of the sketches has allowed the preparation of a significantly different alternative version, revised and edited by the composer’s son Peter Bartók and by the violist Paul Neubauer. The two versions are now offered together for the first time.
