The two Rhapsodies, originally for violin and piano, were both written in 1928, the year of Bartók's Fourth Quartet. Both Rhapsodies appeared in versions for solo violin and orchestra, possibly the composer's final intention, and in versions for violin, viola and cello, with the first also in a version in which the solo cello replaces the solo violin.

"The violin rhapsodies are the most listenable of his later works... Anyway, it is well worth having on disc. All of this is played by some of Hungary's best-known musicians. And the price is right."
