...forthcoming from RCA:

...seems this early work was thought lost, but subsequently found and put together from the composer's manuscript.

The soundbites are very enticing indeed, I must say.

Strange, I have a recording of the piece by Imre Rohmann and members of the Kodaly Quartet which was broadcast in 2006. I cannot find details about this recording but to my ears it doesn't sound like a live performance. It was broadcast as part of WDR 3 Klassik-Forum which concentrates on broadcasting commercial recordings. It lasts about 26 minutes. The same week Bartok's early F major String Quartet was broadcast by the same performers,too. Any ideas about this recording?

Could it have been a radio recording?

It doesn't seem to have circulated in "the usual channels" and isn't on YouTube. The extracts are seductive, though.
