Kertész' recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra of the Dvořák symphonies are widely regarded as the definitive interpretation of the Dvořák cycle and their recording of the Requiem in 1968 is held in the same regard. 50 years since the completion of the symphonies, Decca are celebrating these unrivalled recordings and have returned to the original tapes to make this definitive transfer and present this audiophile edition on two formats: 9 traditional CDs and 1 single High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray disc, enabling true 24-bit playback of the entire audio contents on a single disc at the highest-possible audio quality. “István Kertész's 1960s performances with the LSO are not just the most consistently excellent of all sets, but offer readings of the early symphonies that are full of insight.” JAN SMACZNY
