  4. This is an incredible upload, my dearest Duke! AMAZING! most grateful and sooooooooooooooo glad to know that Vol. 2 is also available. I was especially touched by the reading of the 1st Chopin Concerto.... I ADORE Géza Anda and I also love his concept of the 2nd Brahms' Concerto. Such a pity that we lost him when he was still so young and had so much to give. Let's be thankful for the archives of these amazing broadcasts from the German and Austrian radios. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

  6. Dear La Danse,
    Anda is one of my favorite pianist after WW II, he had left some wonderful recordings in Testament and this two volume is the new discovery by SWR. Thank you for you support.
