“… His [Széchényi] dances were very popular, and this Hungarian recording will have greatest appeal to followers of the Strauss dynasty who can stand a bit of kitsch. Light and frothy being the order of the day. Not only are they well constructed and harmonically interesting but Strauss and Lumbye can move over to accommodate Szechenyi … Both pianists play well, and the sound is good, the notes interesting …”

Alan Becker – American Record Guide – January/February 2022

“…The first thing that strikes the listener is the piano sound. It is actually very good, yet distinct… it is not only the piano sound that is attractive, because it suits the music so well, but the interpretations are truly excellent. Istvan Kassai plays with total abandon, striking rubato and wonderful rhythm. All sounds very fresh and lively, even in the four-hand pieces where Kassai, who is audibly enthusiastic about the music, is joined by a no less committed György Lazar. This is, after all, a very convivial CD!” ****
