Quote from: Dry Brett Kavanaugh on February 08, 2024, 03:30:42 PMI don't know the recordings, but Mr. Hurwitz likes them.




I have a bunch of those and enjoy them; I should revisit them.  I was fortunate as someone had donated a bunch of them to a library and I was able to pick them up inexpensively.

Quote from: DavidW on February 08, 2024, 04:22:59 PMOh actually it is not that I love the recordings, but it is that was my introduction to the label.

My favorite Hungaroton is the Annie Fischer Beethoven sonatas set.
I've heard good things about her Beethoven, but haven't heard any of them.  Roughly when did she record them David?

Given the SQ I think the 60s but don't quote me on that!

Jo498

IIRC late 1970s or even into the 1980s but Fischer didn't authorize the release, so they were only published after her death in the 1990s.

Don't get me wrong, I like the SQ, but wow for that time period I do expect more.

Nice recording! I mentioned it on the first post on this thread, but your cover art looks much better than the one I posted.

I can't understand absence of Pal Kadosa

I see your point. Kadosa's violin concertos are excellent. Muscular and rhythmic, the first made an immediate impression with echoes of Prokofiev's violin concertos. The second has at it's core an ingenious set of variations.

I see that Prestoclassical has his piano music available for sale (download).  Was any of his music ever released on CD?
