Awards and reviews

Ever since I can remember, the famous Solo Cello Sonata, Op. 8 of Kodaly, the only work in this genre comparable with the Cello Suites of Bach (and I am not forgetting Britten), has been synonymous with the name of Janos Starker, who has recorded it more than once (his most recent version is available on Delos 1/89), and with the composer's accolade.
