"A young artist with excellent qualities, worthy of close attention, doubtless seeking his path passionately. One important feature of his music is the obvious kinship of spirit between it and modern French music" wrote Debussy about Bartók in about 1914. We know how important Debussy's art was for the formation of Bartók's individual musical idiom. For a short while the influence of the French composer left an audible imprint on Bartók's style; later this influence passed through subtle filters. The works performed in this concert provide an opportunity to hear these subtle filters, and the instrumentalists from the orchestra take centre-stage as soloists.
