Bartok and Van Gogh

Episode 1 of 2

Audio-visual concert in which Bela Bartok's Concerto for Two Pianos and Concerto for Orchestra are performed against a backdrop of paintings and drawings by Vincent Van Gogh.

Innovative audio-visual concert presentation by David Robertson, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra's principal guest conductor, at the Barbican in London.

Performances of two 20th century works by Bartok, his Concerto for Two Pianos and Concerto for Orchestra, and images of paintings and drawings by Van Gogh are heard and seen together to illustrate the parallels that can be traced between Bartok's folk-derived music and the organic patterns and proportions of the natural world used in Van Gogh's art.
