Talking Bartok

Published: March 30, 2022, 4 a.m.

Taking our cue from the upcoming Bart\xf3k and Brahms program, we focus on the extraordinary music of B\xe9la Bart\xf3k \u2013 especially his spooky and tension-filled Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta, which has been sampled in TV and film ranging from "Dr. Who" to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining." As a sidebar (no pun intended), we test our "bar talk" (pun intended) IQ in our quiz of the day!
