On An Overgrown Path: CDs that should be in every medicine cabinet:
Kertesz's Dvořák is a wonderful memory from my teenage years. I knew the "New World" Symphony, of course; but Kertesz introduced me to the wonders of the other symphonies, which became constant companions over the years. Over time I gravitated towards Colin Davis for Nos. 7 and 8 and Ancerl for Nos. 6 and 9; but Kertesz will always have a special place in my musical life. His tragic death at such a young age deprived us of a great musician.
