Kodály on Records

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 February 2010

Extract

Kodály has done deservedly well at the hands of the record companies over the years, but it is very much a fluctuating success. One of the main problems of providing any comment on Kodály records is that they disappear from the catalogue almost as fast as they arrive. The latest list of deletions for example contains what I count the most impressive Kodály chamber music issue, the Second String Quartet played by the Hungarian Quartet (coupled with Villa-Lobos No. 6). Its disappearance leaves a bad gap in the chamber music representation. Similarly a fine account of the Psalmus Hungaricus from Berlin under Fricsay has disappeared recently without trace.
