Prokofiev: Concerto No. I (Andor Foldes, pianist, with the Lamoureux Orchestra, M. Martinon conducting; Vox, 1 side LP).

Bartok: Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra, Opus I (Andor Foldes, pianist, with the Lamoureux Orchestra, Roger Désormierė conducting; Polydor-Vox, 1 side LP).

Recording: excellent...

...Dances of Marosszék (Andor Foldes, pianist; Vox, 3 sides). Kodály (pronounced Kó-die-ee), who with the late Béla Bartók spent years researching and recording Hungarian folk music, based these picturesque fantasies on Transylvanian dances; Pianist Foldes plays them with the insight and technique of a native Hungarian, which he is. Recording: good...
