Starker Plays Kodaly VIDEO



I just bought the Starker Plays Kodaly CD tonight at Barnes & Noble. I am quite impressed with the innovative beauty and almost brutal complexity of composer Zoltan Kodaly. The composer personally guided Janos Starker in playing his music perfectly.

Here is a video of Starker playing Kodaly, an excerpt of a work on this CD. It often sounds to me that there are two instruments being played by two individuals.
