It is no coincidence that this concert features works by two composers side by side: Debussy had a great influence on Bartók’s work, primarily in the 1910s. The unusual feature of the opening Scherzo is that Zoltán Kocsis has adapted one of the movements of Four Piano Pieces for orchestra. Bartók did not live to see the première of his Scherzo for Piano and Orchestra, which was only discovered among his posthumous papers by Professor Denijs Dille in 1961, and premièred in the same year by the or...chestra of Hungarian Radio with György Lehel conducting. Arrangements for orchestra by Zoltán Kocsis and Maurice Ravel of some short piano pieces by Debussy are followed by La mer, a masterpiece of the composer’s mature creative period which was premièred in Paris in October 1905. Three musical pictures subtly portray three facets of the sea: From Dawn to Noon on the Sea, Play of the Waves, and Dialogue of the Wind and the Sea. Presented by: Concerto Budapest
