". . . this cycle continues to set the standard by which others are judged."
GRAMOPHONE GOOD CD GUIDE
Kertész' recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra of the Dvořák symphonies are widely regarded as the definitive interpretation of the Dvořák cycle and their recording of the Requiem in 1968 is held in the same regard.
"István Kertész's 1960s performances with the LSO are not just the most consistently excellent of all sets, but offer readings of the early symphonies that are full of insight." JAN SMACZNY
"The CD transfers are of Decca's best quality, full-bodied and vivid...his readings give us fresh insights into these often inspired works...a magnificent memorial to a conductor who died sadly young" - Rosette (Highest Award). Penguin Stereo Guide
