The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra performs Béla Bartók Episode 1 (2025)

The Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Jakub Hrůša, takes the audience on a journey through Bartók’s monumental work *Concerto for Orchestra*, which the composer wrote whilst in exile in the United States. The Czech conductor is a frequent guest with the Berlin Philharmonic. As is often the case, Hrůša looks to the East and presents Bartók’s unbridled music, which celebrates a European humanism.
