This week, Bill looks at the life and musical development of one of Hungary’s greatest composers. A musician’s musician, Bartok was supported by many of the great conductors of his era. Paul Sacher, who led the Basel Chamber Orchestra, asked him to write the Divertimento for Strings. Serge Koussevitsky and Fritz Reiner invited him to compose the Concerto for Orchestra. At the end of the week, we’ll hear Benny Goodman perform "Contrasts" for Violin, Clarinet, and Piano, a piece he requested from Bartok.
