Notes and Editorial Reviews

Although not blessed with such a wide literature as, for example violin and piano, nevertheless, numerous composers have written duets for violin and cello. The present collection of works by Hungarian composers not only provides both a wide overview, but above all else, many musical pleasures! Here two full blood-musicians Friedemann Eichhorn and Alexander Hülshoff (both of whom seem to have some Hungarian blood) and a knack for these musical partnerships.

Kodály's duet is among his better known works and is as rousing as that of his pupil Mátyás Seiber (1905-1960). Miklós Rósza's work is barely less absorbing - one cannot deny the influence of his film scores in helping him craft Read more some winning melodies. It also becomes apparent in the other pieces that Hungary is a musical land par excellence that can be discovered here with the help of this special instrument combination. - Hanssler Classic Read less
