Description

Florent Boffard reveals the "kaleidoscope of folklores" that is Bartók's music. Recognized today as a major composer of the 20th century, Béla Bartók placed particular importance on the study of popular music. From the first contact in 1904, folklore shaped the style of the Hungarian composer. The popular tunes he would tirelessly collect until 1917 would give rise to multiple arrangements that would continue to fascinate performers. Florent Boffard had already recorded Bartók's studies for the "New Performers" collection of Harmonia Mundi. A great lover of the music of the Hungarian composer, Florent Boffard explores in this new album some of the most beautiful pages tinged by the folklore of Central Europe.
