Lenyűgöző előadás! Köszönet a szerzőnek, Kodály Zoltánnak, a zenekarnak és a karmesternek!

Thanks for posting. I'd never heard this before and it's beautiful! I need to check out more Kodaly

God this brings back memories! I played this as part of wind orchestra a long time ago and it still gives me chills.

[@ChrisBreemer]

One of Kodaly's greatest works for sure. And so much respect for Vasary who was my favorite pianist in the sixties (being DG's star Chopin pianist).

[@patrickcrosby3824]

Maybe I don't know enough of his other works (beyond the "Dances of.. " works, etc) But this seems to me his greatest work. It certainly deserves to be heard far more often, on the radio and in live concert. Not likely to happen though in a culturally backward in a place like here in LA.

I wish I could go back and continue playing this amazing piece w/ my youth orchestra before quarantine

I love this work. I am reminded of Sibelius' "Pohjola's Daughter" which I also rate very highly.

Dicséret Vásáry Tamásnak és zenekarának!

[@PaulKangMusic]
