Kodaly Conducts Kodaly
Label: HUNGAROTON Catalog: HCD32677/78 Format: CD A composer’s written and verbal comments on his own work are invaluable for both the performer and the musicologist. The composer’s own interpretations as a performer of his own works can be taken as more important than written and oral “confessions” are. Kodály did not train as a performer, and it was at the relatively ripe age of 35, coincident with his Psalmus Hungaricus becoming a world success, that he was persuaded to take up the conductor’s baton - and with a single exception, he felt called upon to conduct only his own works.
