Rozsa: Miklos Rozsa: S... - Nikita Boriso-glebsky - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

This release further explores the rarely performed or recorded concert music of Miklós Rózsa (of Ben Hur fame), coupling his Rhapsody for Cello, in which the young composer truly found his style, his Notturno Ungherese (“a nostalgic night piece, harking back to the memories of my childhood in Hungary”), and the late Sinfonia concertante for violin and cello, a fiendishly difficult violin-cello double concerto that is among Rózsa’s finest, least film-music-like concert works—and one of his most underrated. Gregor Piatigorsky and Jascha Heifetz, who instigated its composition, never ended up playing it, but Harriet Krijgh and Nikita Boriso-Glebsky certainly do.
