Bartok’s Divertimento

In November, the CMW Players joined forces with the Haven String Quartet (quartet-in-residence at Music Haven) to rehearse a chamber orchestra program and perform concerts in New Haven and Providence.

Since the music of Bela Bartok plays such a prominent role in our 15th season, I visited CMW's audio archives to retrieve this recording of the first movement of Bartok's Divertimento for Strings, the last work he composed before fleeing Hungary in 1939, from the November 6 concert. Enjoy!
