b'Marjolaine Fournier and Jean-Jacques van Vlasselaer talk about two Concertos for orchestra: one by B\\xe9la Bart\\xf3k and the other by Witold Lutos\\u0142awski. They take a moment to explain the format of a concerto for orchestra (what do you mean, a concerto without a soloist?), and the dialog that develops within the orchestra performing it. Bart\\xf3k and Lutos\\u0142awski, who lived concurrently but in different contexts, composed two completely different and marvellous works.'
