The reissue of a successful Brilliant Classics set: orchestral works by Zoltán Kodály.

Kodály is one of Hungary’s foremost composers, together with his compatriot Bela Bartók he collected folk songs in the field, and used them in his works, creating colourful and exhilarating orchestral works, like the popular Marosszék and Galánta Dances, the Peacock Variations and the Háry János suite. Also included is the mighty Psalmus Hungaricus.

Highly idiomatic performances by two Hungarian orchestras: the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra and the Budapest Festival Orchestra, conducted by two brothers respectively, Ádám and Iván Fischer.
