Jenő Jandó

About Jenő Jandó

If the artistic identities of some performers are bound up with the recording companies that preserved their music-making -- Artur Rubinstein with RCA Red Seal, for example, or Yo-Yo Ma with the crossover-friendly incarnation of Sony/CBS -- then the face of the Naxos label and its repertory-based, high-volume, low-budget ways may well have been Hungarian pianist Jenö Jandó. He recorded a wide variety of repertory for that label, with Hungarian music strongly represented, but by no means preponderant. He made complete sets of music by composers such as Bartók, Liszt, Beethoven, and many more, with seeming to have a thorough understanding of the entirety of piano literature.
