Kodaly: Hary Janos; Bartok: Duke Bluebeard'S Castle (2CD)
$19.95
István Kertész’s recordings on Decca are legendary and many of them are now on CD on Eloquence – some for the first time. This generous 2CD set offers a unique coupling of two ‘fairy tale’ pieces by Hungarian composers: Kodály’s ‘Hary Janos’ (a ‘singspiel’), a light-hearted tale of the imaginary adventures of the Hungarian general (with Peter Ustinov, no less, as the hilarious actor/narrator) and Bartók’s one-act operatic thriller, ‘Duke Bluebeard’s Castle’.
