LAJTHA: Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9

László Lajtha was one of the most significant of the 20th century Hungarian symphonists, writing in a style that communicated directly with the audience. His orchestral music, including nine symphonies, contains a fascinating tapestry of tonal colours. Much of it reflects Hungary’s difficult and troubled times during the composer’s lifetime. The emotions range from tragic intensity to optimism.
