is the description of the concert (on radio.hu) in which the symphony was broadcast or re-broadcast. The years I have are 1897-1984, not 1887-1984 - about this I wonder. Maybe György Kósa just has his birthyear ten years too late, or the document - a cached copy by Google of this no longer available document (or if available, not at that location!) - has it too early. (Added: Illinet gives 1897 for birthdate, and list a recording of the 8th symphony from soon after its creation - a 1960s recording, indeed on Qualiton (now Hungaroton I believe) SLPX 1297, Endre Kemény conducting as in the above concert (suggesting it's a set of LP plays??, not a live performance, or that the conductor had his longevity..), Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra. ) Other works in Illinois Catalogs include a viola solo work, a cello sonata, etc. ...

(Note before I leave for a bit: other works - some may overlap with de:worklist- include: Easter Oratorio from 1932 premiered 2003?, four easy pieces for bassoon (1967), Requiem for the Living (1948), symphony no 2 (1927) , 6 pieces, Kammermusik, and Suite, all for orchestra (same link), trios for 2vn/va and for fl, va and vc, and a partial worklist
