Kodály, alas, wrote very little music for the piano; I believe his only piano music not included here is a set of pieces for children. I lament the lack of piano music because the Dances--a collection of genuine folk dances intelligently worked into a medley that has shape and even substance--is one of the most entertaining piano pieces of the 20th century. The Seven Pieces are also first-rate Kodály: mostly small piano pieces with Hungarian folk flavor. I don't know where Bis finds all these excellent, obscure musicians, but László Simon, whoever he is, plays Kodály brilliantly and Liszt just as well. --Leslie Gerber
