Review:
Perényi provides an incredible and moving performance of the Sonata for Solo Cello. Within the first few moments of the recording, one can tell that the Sonata is something that Perényi is emotionally attached to. His interpretation is absolutely brilliant, his playing is technically perfect, and I would say that this should be the "go-to" recording of these works. It is a pity that new copies do not seem to be available. I have heard many versions of the Kodály Sonatas, and I wasn't fully satisfied with what I have heard. I recently purchased the Natalie Clien version based on reviews, but was disappointed in the interpretation. Grab a copy of this in any format you can find - new or used - before it is impossible to locate.
