Presto is currently running a Naxos sale which makes them (even with shipping and conversion fees) cheaper than Amazon, so if anyone is interested, I wouldn't hesitate. Amazon is offering an MP3 download starting May 1.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------here, fantastic the cover with the photo of Zador http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/w/204843/Eugene-Z%C3%A1dor-A-Children%E2%80%99s-Symphony

He isn't very well know to the public because he worked near to his friend Rozsa but not only for and with him. Sure the influnce of his music is Hungarian but sure that he have a great universal's knowlege of the music. And I think that another important fact about his person style of the music is his personal character maybe for some aspects different respect the Character of Rozsa http://spotlightonmusic.macmillanmh.com/n/teachers/articles/composers-and-lyricists/eugene-zador ROZSA AND ZADOR : ENCOUNTER OF MANY MUSICAL THOUGHTSthis is a fascinating point :University of Leipzig : teacher MAX REGERafterUniversity of Leipzig : teacher Hermann GrabnerEugene Zador Student under Max Reger afterMiklos Rozsa Student under Hermann Grabnerafter the great encounterMiklos Rozsa and Eugene Zador

My last choice is particularly personal, as the music of Hungarian expatriate Eugene Zádor is not really essential listening. He left war-clouded Europe in 1939 and settled, as so many did, in Hollywood. He was a prolific composer, but he made his living as an orchestrator of others’ sketches, in particular those of fellow Hungarian Miklós Rózsa, who specified Zádor in his contracts. A stormy night and an empty house somehow made the perfect backdrop for these slight but evocative and often wistful works, many with a vestigial Hungarian flavor, and the CD ended up on my short list. Zádor, who seldom got screen credit, deserves this at least.
Zádor gives us good examples of music that is difficult to describe or classify because it sounds like music composed by so many other composers. Some of it even sounds Hungarian, although not as much as you might guess. Note that none of this is intended as adverse criticism. I truly enjoyed the music on this CD, as it veered from style to style. Great stuff, this, for a “guess the composer” quiz. . . . One might say these performances are always right on track. If you like Rózsa, in all his musical incarnations, I think this CD will give you a lot of pleasure. I know it did that for me.
