As a whole, I find the recording by the Handys and Nigel Clayton to be an excellent 21st-century rendition of Kodály’s most important compositions.
Maria Nockin, Fanfare (37:3, Jan/Feb 2014)
The music requires the cellist to cover the instrument’s entire range from the highest delicate tones to the strongest bass notes, and Handy has no trouble filling the bill. Natalie Clein plays it on a 2010 Hyperion disc, but I don’t think her virtuosity is quite up to the level of Handy’s.
