Theatre Overture

Available for over a year

Starting its life as the overture to his opera 'Hary Janos' Kodaly discarded, then re-purposed it. The characterful music is 'big' and atmospheric, much like the tall-tale teller it was once to introduce. Composer: Zoltán Kodály Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier Recording date: 16 October 1998 Date of broadcast: 26 October 1998
