Zoltan Kocsis's playing in the popular D minor concerto in particular is very energetic, clean, fresh, and rightly paced. So are the double concertos with Schiff. This is surely an interesting recording but I doubt whehter it is possible to get hold of it now - I have been looking for it for years (couldn't find it even in Hungary!) and discovered it accidentally in Madrid last X'mas! (this is a re-issue by Hungaroton in 1996 btw) Acknowledgements: Thank you to the following for submitting this recording and for your comments: Siu-Wai Ng Date First Submitted: 03/20/1999 Purchasing: Suggested Purchasing Sources Note: Inclusion in this database does not guarantee the availability of any recording.
