Title: Dohnanyi Szeged Mass
Post by: eschiss1 on Monday 02 July 2012, 02:28
This is, I believe, a post-1918 work (my computer is acting up right now but I will check when it is done giving me reason to curse at it), but I just noticed that Dohnanyi's Szeged Mass will be receiving its US premiere on May 2, 2013 at Carnegie Hall (American Symphony/Botstein).

Thanks for this information. It's great news. I'll have to attend.

Just for information, I have located a very decent CD recording of this work - self-publication by the choir and orchestra of the Matthias Church, Budapest (Mátyás-templom) conducted by Laszlo Tardy.
A live recording from March 24 1990 on the Incoronata Label (INCO CD III, no barcode).

An email address is mentioned: incoronata@matyas-templom.hu

This was a chance offering on eBay and I doubt that many copies exist outside Hungary. I can't find it on Discogs.
