I wonder how many people have the Dances from Galanta because it's on the same CD as Harry Janos Suite?

Ivan Fischer (conductor) / Budapest Festival Orchestra,Kodaly: "Hary Janos" Suite. Etc.,CD Album listed at CDJapan! Get it delivered safely by SAL, EMS, FedEx and save with CDJapan Rewards!
I'm still wondering why Makropoulos - see #31 above - found this recording to be wanting in comparison with Kertesz et al. I much enjoyed SW's straightforward approach and didn't mind the odd rhetorical flourish.

But clearly plenty of people consider it an outstanding version. I'll have to wait until getting back from the Czech Republic before listening to this BAL, but I'm looking forward to it.
"I have to say that I find something a little lacking in the recommended version - (based, of course on only the extracts played, admittedly) compared to the solid and necessary extravagance and sheer lushness of say, Kertesz (LSO) or Dorati (Hungarica Decca) - especially Dorati - which I feel is what this music demands."

Originally posted by makropulos View PostStrange to be writing about Kodály from Janacek's town, but I'm very happy (and relieved) not to be alone in thinking that way about the winner. Agree entirely with what you say - and if you want to try another version do give Fricsay a try (it was/is on DG Originals).

Originally posted by visualnickmos View PostThank you - I might just do that, but for my money, Kertesz is the man! However (there's always a'however!) I was rather enthralled with the extracts played of Charles Mackerras, and the wonderful Scottish orchestra.
