Following the lighthearted, bright music, Bartók switches to melancholy in the third movement, the Elegy, before concluding the piece with the sparkling, optimistic Presto. Musically, this development is handled with smooth and stunning skill by Péter Halász and the State Philharmonic Orchestra Nuremberg. We heard an exemplary performance, the exemplary value of which would also be desirable in the world of politics – and not only in Hungary.
