From record label:
"Traditional Hungarian, Slovakian, Gipsy, Jewish music from Slovakia. With Extracts from writings by Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály, Sándor Márai and Sándor Petőfi.

Extract from a letter by Béla Bartók, 1909:
'I’ve been reveling here with the villagers for two days, as they stand around my phonograph and exert themselves so that the machine should record an even greater number of songs. Certainly it is not the result of the collection that interests them, rather the huge horn of the phonograph, the ’truba’.
And how inexhaustible their repertoire is; they gave 60 songs in 2 afternoons, as well as another 50 a year and a half ago. Despite the fact that Darázs is quite a small village, with a population of 1000. This is where I’m living and collecting. (...) A sturdy young man, when I stood him in front of the horn took his hat off in awe. Hearty bursts of laughter (...) Later they became frolicsome and started shouting irrelevant words into the gramophone at the end of certain songs ... and the situation got to a point when it was wiser to stop work. A drunk came in, began yelling at the top of his lungs, demanding his voice be recorded at all costs.' "
