Zoltan Kodaly[edit]

1914 – Duo for violin and cello

Zoltán Kodály's Duo for violin and cello, Op. 7, performed by the U.S. Army Strings.

This is an excellent recording of a notable composer. It's not really my preferred type of music - it's a difficult and unsettling modernist composition - but I can appreciate it as being very well performed. The recording greatly adds to the article on Zoltán Kodály, and so, I think that it's quite worthy of Featured Sound status. Would prefer a less abrupt opening, but I can accept it as interpretation.

Support Not exactly what I think of when I think of classical, but it's very good nonetheless. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:56, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The early modernist movement was an interesting flurry of new and unique ideas in music. Not all of them are entirely successful, but sometimes you get something unique and superb, like Duke Bluebeard's Castle. Kodaly's pretty good, though I personally prefer some of the other modernist composers, like Bartok, Luigi Nono, and Schoenberg. But then, I'm an opera fan, and those three did some AMAZING theatrical works. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
