Dohnányi and Lajtha: Sonatas for Cello and Piano

Péter SZABÓ - cello
Dénes VÁRJON - piano

"Szabó and Várjon are very effective in it: the Hungarian style of cello playing tends not to overdo the vibrato that would otherwise lend an ersatz excitement to what is already exciting enough."
American Record Guide
