  • ""It is as though we've been caught in a storm at sea and blown to shore with no more than the clothes on our backs". So wrote the great Hangarian composer Bela Bartok (1881-1945) on his arrival in New York in 1940, after losing his luggage on the voyage from war-torn Europe and finding himself sadly lost in an unfamiliar culture. He was to spend the last years of his life there, fighting sickness, poverty and failure. Nevertheless, consoled by the cycles of nature, his last five years produced some of his greatest and most moving music. In this film many of the composer's friends and colleagues, including Yehudi Menuhin and Georg Solti, join his sons Peter and Bela Jr to tell the story of these last years of exile. The music is performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ervin Lukacs and Sir Georg Solti, with Gyorgy Sandor (piano) and Laszlo Barsony (viola)."
  • ""When Béla Bartók fled to New York in 1940, he carried his love of folk melodies to Columbia University, where he became a research fellow studying Serbo-Croatian music. In this timeless program, friends and associates - including Yehudi Menuhin and the late Sir Georg Solti - join Bartók's sons Peter and Béla, Jr., to reflect on the Hungarian composer's last five years, in which he wrote the Concerto for Orchestra, one of his greatest compositions. In the words of the English newspaper The Guardian, this documentary is "an oddly affecting portrait of a composer who, they say, rarely smiled and spoke little, but - in the words of Georg Solti - had the aura of a holy man."--Conteneur."
