I noticed this CD on Amazon. Apparently MR conducts
the Hollywood Bowl Symphony in Les Préludes and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1. Does anyone have it? Is there any other CDs of MR conducting Hungarian classical
music (not counting his own, of course)

Oops! I see that the answer is in Frank's concert music discography.
Sorry! TJ |

For the record, TJ, Rozsa conducts Liszt's 14th Rhapsody (in an arrangement by Eugene Zador) as well as "Les Preludes" on this
disc. He also recorded the 2nd, but apparently that is not the version on this disc (at least according to Amazon - I don't have the disc myself to
confirm). It's good to know these performances are still available - and at so low a cost! Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention!

In his appearance on the 1980 Previn and the Pittsburgh telecast, Rózsa, with a bit of bemusement, related a brief tale of someone (some radio
announcer or music critic, I think, though it would make the most sense if it'd been a film studio music director) who pronounced Liszt's name as
"Lischt." I recall him shaking his head in dismay at such ignorance.

I have the CD. Rozsa conducts Les Preludes and the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 14. Masur and Boskovsky led other pieces on the CD. I feel
Rozsa's conducting of works other than his own were generally listless, but he did a good job with these performances.
