Liszt: Mazeppa & Mephisto Waltz No. 2 - Kodály: Theatre Overture & Háry János Suite

The ten years long mandate of Kurt Masur as the New York Philharmonic during the 90s was one of the major artistic collaborations of its time and left a magnificent recorded legacy, mainly under the Teldec label. This underrated album gathers works by Hungarian-born composers Liszt and Kodály, notably the surprising Suite from Háry János of the latter, famous for its use of the cimbalom.
