Note: Track 12 of this CD was featured in the Radio 4 show Desert
Island discs with Sir Hugh Pennington. I am sorry to say that the CD is
currently deleted, however, we have several other CDs from the excellent Kallos
collection, which are available
here.
Archive recordings from the collection of Zoltan Kallos. Mainly
instrumentals but occasional vocals as well.
Ördöngösfüzes
is a village in the County Kolozs near Szamosujvar and Szek. The
population is approximately two thirds Hungarian and one third Romanian.
These recordings were made in the 1960's by some of the most prominent and important figures in
Hungarian folk music collection and research Zoltán Kallós, György
Martin, and Pál Sztanó.
The material on this recording, valuable both ideologically and professionally,
is released in the series entitled the 'Kallós Archivum' in an edited and
technically restored format.
Born in Válaszút (Kolozs country, in Transylvania) in
1926, Zoltán Kallós follows in the tradition of Bartok and Kodaly
researching and collecting folk music from within the region known as the
Carpathian Basin.
His interest in the folk music of this area started while still at school,
and he has collected and researched the music since the late 1940s. Around
the 1960s he started recording folk music in the various places he had
previously studied, and it is these recordings that make up the Kallós
Archive. In addition to these field recordings he has himself recorded the
songs he collected with the ensembles Okros and Teka.
A forerunner to the Tanchaz (Dance House) folk revival of the 1970s in
Hungary he was awarded the "Tree of Life" Prize in 1990, the Pro
Hungarian Art Prize in 1993, and the Kossuth Award in 1996.
