Please understand, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I am curious as to the basis for your statement. There doesn't seem to be anything remarkable in the ASO League statistics for Bartok performances from 2000 to 2009. As I said below, the Concerto for Orchestra, the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta and the piano and violin concerti are major undertakings for a regional orchestra, the concerti especially IMO require major and expensive soloists to do them justice.
If the 2010-2011 season is an especially big Bartok year, I think that's great, but I don't see anything unusual. The NY and LA Philharmonics now have (relatively) young conductors with a strong interest in modern and contemporary music. Some of the veterans, like Michael Tilson Thomas, have had that interest for many years. Programming Bartok is now becoming more like programming Beethoven or Tchaikovsky than a contemporary composer.
