This is a very good rendition -- not surprising from a Hungarian orchestra. The first dance should indeed be lively and syncopated and it is actually inspired by a Hungarian folk tune. Bartok deserves credit for having recorded (literally, using a phonograph) authentic Romanian folklore music which apparently had still survived through the beginning of the XXth century. In the rest of the century, old traditional tunes -- which were exclusively modal -- were replaced, probably under the influence of Western European music, by a major/minor based style. Very few tunes still remind of the old, traditional Romanian folk music.
My favorite is no. 5. All the complexity going on in the harmony. Most people are listening to the melody and miss the musical capers going on in the strings.
Bartok, as many other composers of the time, took popular music from his country as "an excuse" to develop his own musical style, beautiful harmonies and beautiful melodies
He made fun of what was promoted as Shostakovichs wartime propaganda symphony in Concerto for Orchestra, and was in axis Hungary, so he probably was based. Died just in time b4 the commies took over.

Yesssss! I love Bartok!
We’re playing this in band rn 1st dance and 7th legit my favorites bruh
Agreed
Bartok, as many other composers of the time, took popular music from his country as "an excuse" to develop his own musical style, beautiful harmonies and beautiful melodies
The first piece sounds like a Polish góral (highlander) song. Great music.
The first part originates from Transylvania and is a typical hungarian folk tune
oh wow, i played the piano versions when i was young, so weird.... idk why but they just make me feel weird!
Modal, contrasting tunes...
Very different from most classical works since they're derived from Eastern European folk music!
