About
Béla Bartók’s symphonic poem Kossuth stands in the shadow of his later works and is hardly ever performed. It was written when Bartók was a mere twenty-year-old and celebrates the Hungarian freedom fighter Lajos Kossuth. It is a brilliantly instrumented, fiery work of his youth, and the opportunity to get to know it is a rewarding experience.
Cornelius Meister debuted at the Hamburg State Opera at the young age of twenty-one and numbers among today’s top young conducting marvels.

In both the Concerto for Orchestra and the set of Romanian Dances included as an extra, there is plenty of characterful, extrovert playing, but Kossuth...needs much more cogency and tightly focused energy if it is not to seem just episodic
