Album information

Cristian Măcelaru and the WDR Sinfonieorchester reunite for two orchestral works by Béla Bartók: the century-old Dance-Suite and the ballet The Wooden Prince.

Based on a rather childish tale (prince, princess, fairies, and of course a happy ending!), the music of the ballet The Wooden Prince – recorded in full here – has all the ingredients of a masterpiece: masterful scoring for large forces, use of musical themes, an effortless amalgam of folk and late-Romantic elements. Composed in 1923 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the merging of the towns of Buda and Pest – alongside commissions by Ernö Dohnányi and Zoltán Kodály – the century-old Dance Suite is a six-movement work that has become one of Bartók’s best known compositions. Born in Timișoara, a short distance from Hungaria, Măcelaru can boast an unparalleled understanding of Bartók, as evident here.

It is the perfect pairing for their first Linn album, Dvořák: Legends Op. 59, Czech Suite Op. 39.
