	Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Concerto
		A concerto for piano and orchestra is called a piano concerto, a concerto for violin and orchestra is called a violin concerto, and so forth.
		The solo concerto seems to be one of those forms that has an intrinsic genius, offering drama, excitement, the persuasiveness of the individual voice, the power of massed forces — whether in opposition to or in support of the individual voice — and the chance to exploit and exhibit great individual accomplishments.
		The concerto repertoire for cello probably comes in third behind that of piano and violin for quantity and quality, but Mozart alone wrote four French horn concertos, two flute concertos, a concerto for violin and viola, one for flute and harp, and concertos for clarinet, oboe, and bassoon.

	Classical Notes - Bartok's Concerto For Orchestra, Classical Classics, Peter Gutmann
		Indeed, while the Concerto's elements are all-embracing, it isn't a dry intellectual compendium of influences but a wondrous, vibrant and spontaneous-sounding celebration of life, beginning with a primordial coalescing of consciousness and culminating in an explosive outburst of defiant vitality.
		Since a traditional concerto juxtaposes a highlighted solo instrument with an orchestra, Bartók explained his seemingly contradictory title as taking a basic symphonic texture and treating the individual orchestral instruments in a soloistic manner.
		With his Cleveland Orchestra, which he honed to a startling level of precision, Szell gives a lean, propulsive and vigorous reading, strikingly similar to Reiner's in its exquisite subtlety, but with a slighter edge and disfigured by a large cut in the finale.
