Béla Bartók

I LOOOOOOVVEEE ETHNOMUSICOLOGY!

bridges the all the best stuff about romanticism and the avant-garde

Quartet 1 slaps so hard

come to brazil

Bartok never wrote a bad piece of music. It's just banger after banger after banger for this guy. Definitely an all time great, also very thankful for what he did to majorly further the field of ethnomusicology.

YES

Do you want to meet some mexican musicians and composers?, Well, you won´t regret it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4qyfASnsgPZxBh9s80sEh6?si=a3a567e00202481c

I love his Romanian Folk Dances and that Divertimento he composed lol

Steve Reich was absolutely right, the best string quartets since Beethoven.

I only listen to real music. Never heard of Béłá Bártòk, huh? Go back to Bach you grubby little piss chickens. Ba-Ba-BAKA. Get out of my face.

Love every piece by this legendary composer

i like some of it but his approach with dissonance feels abit tacked on top. i prefer rautvarra still

if the music is NOT of the Highest quality and it is NOT FREE i will find a way to shut you down JmS

i am not happy lastfm i started you as an exercise for my UK programmer. you need to find some other bandwidth baby

любимый композитор первой половины 20 века!

I have yet to find a work of Bartók i dislike. So far everything he touched sounds divine to me.

<3

Showing some love for Bluebeard's Castle -- an opera that deserves more recognition. Listening to the version from 1965 by Christa Ludwig and Walter Berry with Kertesz leading the London S.O., released by Decca. Very powerful performance, beautifully recorded and presented.

i need to write come to brazil pls p.s. now i fell ok

What's with all the weird jokes/memes here? Just curious :)

Vengan a Chile por favor!!

The Takács Quartet version is definitive

succ succ daddy gimme some fucc

Big fan of his piano output.

Bartók was a red-blooded young man, with a large, Hungarian penis

Love his string quartets, particularly as performed by the Takacs Quartet.

I want a t-shirt with Béla Bartók

A very interesting piece by a great composer.

Good stuff.

bela u my niga

One of the best.

viva bartók

V I don't think he is a serious guy, jazzthieve. Regarding Bartok: what a great composer ...

@Kawsoon how cute you think this has anything to do with romanticism or "neoromanticism" as you call it, did you get that off a wikipedia page or something? Next time when trying to come off as elitist don't try to sound so dumb or ignorant kid.

bad mofo

neoromanticist populist garbage manufactured for plebeians

Loving the string quartets...

Brilliant

At least until recently, because not so long ago I started to listen to string quartets more and more. So, who knows? But Bartók was the first composer whom I liked primarily because of his string quartets.

Mampato, yes, there are great string quartets (and Beethoven's and Schubert's are great in particular), I just usually prefer other works. Some of Beethoven's late string quartets are indeed greater pieces of music than most of his symphonies, but somehow I still listen to the symphonies more.

Happy Birthday!

I adore the string quartet medium. Just as in Bartok's case, Beethoven's and Schubert's quartets are my favourite works by those composers (I even rank them ahead of their symphonies and songs).

Look at what this obituary says about the late conductor Claudio Abbado: 'Wartime deprivations notwithstanding, Mr. Abbado pursued his musical training. When other children scribbled graffiti promoting their favorite soccer teams, he was inspired to scrawl on a public wall the phrase “Viva Bartók” — for Béla Bartók, the contemporary Hungarian composer, one of his favorite musical figures.' Yes, Bartok is just as important as football!
