Symphony in C major

Available for over a year

This symphony is a wonderful mix of the familiar and the strange. The foundations are based in the western classical traditions, but the rhythms and tunes above scream of an earlier less-structured style prevalent in the Hungarian folk music Kodaly would have heard. Composer: Zoltán Kodály Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier Recording date: 16 October 1998 Date of broadcast: 26 October 1998
