A special project recreating and celebrating an event which took place 100
years ago. A village concert based around the shepherd's flute and bagpipe.
Musician Zoltan Szabo is in charge accompanied with many able guests and
friends.
From label:
"These recordings, which have largely been “stored in boxes”, show beautifully what can be achieved in our time with an instrument looking back on a thousand years of history, despite having almost vanished in the twilight of oblivion.
The actuality of the present CD lies in the fact that exactly a hundred years ago in Ipolyság, Hont county, a sensational event took place when archivist Alajos Szokolyi, helped by
István Győrffy musicologist, invited the Hungarian and Slovakian shepherds of the county to an irregular concert, where the participants could present their skills on the most characteristic shepherd’s instruments, especially the bagpipe, the flute and the swineherd's horn, all of which were recorded on phonograph-cylinder by
Béla Bartók. These archaic recordings praise the greatness of these instruments.
This album is thus a confession about the bagpipe and about musicians who are willing to descend even to hell for that
KNOWLEDGE. "
