ClassicsOnline Home » KODALY: Three Chorale Preludes / Cello Sonatas Opp. 8 and 4 > Review List
Maria Kliegel in Kodály’s magnificent solo Cello Sonata offers a warm and fanciful performance, powerful and flowing. Jeno Jandó is an outstandingly sympathetic partner in the two-movement Op. 4 Sonata, a performance deeply introspective in the slow first movement and full of fantasy in the Allegro con spirito of the finale. The three Chorale Preludes are romantic arrangements—with the cello generally underlining the chorale melodies—of organ pieces attributed to Bach but now though spurious.
