Zoltán Kodály – Háry János Suite • Concerto – Hungarian State Orchestra conducted by János Ferencsik

A striking Hungaroton (SLPX 12190) pressing featuring Kodály’s colourful orchestral showpiece Háry János Suite alongside the Concerto for Orchestra. Ferencsik leads the Hungarian State Orchestra in performances that highlight the vivid folk influences, bold brass writing, and playful orchestration that make this repertoire so distinctive. A strong example of mid-20th-century Eastern European classical recording, appealing to collectors of Hungarian repertoire and Decca-affiliated pressings.
