Bartok´s Viola Concerto from 2021
Here is the video recording of Bartok's viola concerto, in a new chamber orchestra version by Lars Anders Tomter. The performance was a world premiere of Tomter´s version, in which he plays the solo part. Fjord Festival Strings was conducted by Øyvind Bjorå. Tomter´s new version has since received much attention internationally, and is now performed regularly around the world.
