Béla Viktor János Bartók (25 March 1881–26 September 1945) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, and collector of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk music.
Bartók was born in Sânnicolau Mare/Nagyszentmiklós (Present day Romania). He is considered one of the greatest of 20th-century composers, and was also one of the founders of the field of ethnomusicology, the study and ethnography of folk music. This interest in and knowledge of traditional music, especially that of his own culture, had a great influence on many of his own compositions.

I'm not sure if Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is good to begin with. But maybe I'm just mad about chamber music so I would recommend solo piano works --> folk songs and dances, then maybe string quartets (these are F*CKIN' AWESOME, especially the fourth) ;) [in my private opinion string quartet is one of the most if not the most essential and quality form in classical music]

Yes, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (Sz 106) should convince you.

Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, definitely. Or the Wooden Price if you want a ballet in the vein of Stravinsky's Firebird, there's an excellent Boulez-conducted disk from the 70s that marries these two pieces with his Dance Suite and Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy. Get that one if you can find it. If you can take thornier stuff give The Miraculous Mandarin or the String Quartet a spin. Cheers & enjoy.
