    Please notice that his surname has a shake on the o (" ö "); he was from Hungary, having been born in Budapest, although grown in the US. So...

    > AWN-dorrr FÖL-dehss (written for English to pronounce it).

    - Caps > stressed syllable.
    - rrr = a harder "r" than in English "h" from "horse"/"hard"; like intervocalic Italian (pure) "r".
    - ö = neither "o" nor "e"; something in between, like French "eu" or German "ö", or Dutch "oe" (near English U in "hurt", or I in "dirt", "bit", "little").
