Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106, BB 114 is one of the best-known compositions by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. Commissioned by Paul Sacher to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the chamber orchestra Basler Kammerorchester, the score is dated September 7, 1936.

The 1959 Concerto for Orchestra was one of Bernstein's first recordings as music director of the New York Philharmonic. It's still worthy of comparison with the classic 1954 Reiner recording considered standard by most critics. Bernstein gets the orchestra inside the music, expressing the range of Bartók's emotional world from the spookily mysterious opening to the hilarity of the intermezzo to the joyous finale. This performance makes the piece sound less conservative than it sometimes does-a decided plus. The Music for Strings etc. was recorded in a different venue, and the sound seems rougher and more spread. The first celesta passage seems woofy to me - hence the half-star reduction. But it's a wonderful piece too. Here I was reminded of ballet music at some points, and the percussion effects (wood blocks?) in the slow movement are magical.
