The first CD release of these priceless recordings from the Decca archives. Kertész brings his blend of thrust and tenderness (and huge architectural conviction) to the Fifth Symphony while John Ogdon and Neville Marriner perform the First Piano Concerto ‘to the manner born’ with not a single high-jink glossed over. Raymond Tuttle provides the fascinating liner notes.

‘one of John Ogdon’s best records’ Penguin Guide to CDs (2000 Yearbook)

‘fascinating’ [Symphony No. 5] Répertoire

‘Ogdon’s clean stylish performance…encompasses both the humour and romanticism of the score…the trumpet playing of John Wilbraham is masterly in the finale…Kertész’s Fifth Symphony is a thoroughly musical reading’ **(*) Penguin Guide
