“Zoltán Kocsis has a world reputation as a pianist… On this evidence his conducting is equally as mesmerising, and equally insistent on never conjuring attention away from the music...In Bartók's familiar Dance Suite the music's rhythmic drive is seriously exciting, yet nothing is forced. And in the other works too, every melodic phrase is graced with playing that's both crystal-clear and wonderfully characterised.”
