It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Bartok lovers

The most unusual choice to me, not only from the posts here but also the NY Times columnist, is that of Bela Bartok.

Now, personally, I love Bartok's chamber music, especially the string quartets which I think are really very fine indeed.

However, he wrote no symphonies, his concertos are not played in concert very much, altyhough that seems to be changing this year. I just saw his Viola Concerto performed by the Atlanta Symphony a couple of weekends ago. (A middling work, even with so few concertante works for viola. But maybe it was the soloist who left me sort of un-wowed.)

So, what music by Bartok are prompting you music lovers to listen to him so much, placing him in the top 10 composers you enjoy listening to?
