The one hundred and fiftieth classical recording: #637 Bela Bartok - Romanian Folk Dances

This short piece adapts six Romanian folk dances to classical music, adding instrumentation where appropriate, but keeping the focus on the one instrument that would normally be leading the dance - a flute that's mostly on its own, a violin slowly supported by other string instruments and so on. It feels like it keeps the origin of the songs as a folk dance, something anyone could play, but adds atmosphere around it to help create a feeling that puts you in that time and place. It's over all too quickly, but helps keep you engaged until then.
