LUTOSLAWSKI - BRAHMS Concerto for orchestra / Piano Quartet transcr. by Schoenberg Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Miguel Harth-Bedoya

Music of impressive energy and momentum.
With its use of folk melodies to generate tremendous momentum and dramatic impact, the Concerto for Orchestra (1954) established Witold Lutosławski (1913-1994) as Poland’s leading composer and an international force in concert music. Here it is coupled with another blazing showpiece: Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quartet in G minor arranged for full orchestra by Arnold Schoenberg (1937).
