Lang Lang plays Bela Bartok's Piano Sonata (first movement, allegro moderato) with verve. This piece was written in 1926 when, supposedly, Bartok wrote a lot of piano music.
Thankyou Penny. Not really a Bartok fan but had never heard this piece before. For me it has strong echoes of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring". It's always interesting to listen to something new (to me that is)
I was introduced to Bartok's piano music as a teen and now my son is a fan as well. I can see the Stravinsky connection you make. Glad to introduce you to something new!
