This is truly one of the greatest recordings of all time, precisely because Starker plays the Kodaly like Kodaly - not like Brahms. It's a vicious, bleak piece. Ma's recording is dramatic and flowery and ornamented - and sounds like everything else he does. Pick up this Starker disc - leave Yo-Yo to his Tchaikovsky. –Danny Noonan
This recording is exquisite. Although Starker's rendition of the Kodaly has its unfavorable critics, it must be noted that Starker played the work for the composer--the first time when Starker was about 15. His final performance for Kodaly was shortly before the composer's death. On that occasion, Kodaly himself stated that Starker's performance, except for one small ritard, was the "Bible performance". –Russ
