'Great playing that takes Bartók back to the future.
... The live atmosphere lends a particular edge to the recording, and the
rhythmic, syncopated beat of a dancer's feet give some of the material
tremendous urgency. Very fine stuff indeed''
Songlines magazine Nov/Dec 2004
This is the artists own release and has been imported from Hungary.
'A DREAM - Most of us began our music training with the Kodaly
method. From that time on music has been a significant part of our lives.
It has been our dream to convey what it is, that traditional folk music,
[what] Kodaly and Bartok's music means to us. So, starting is 1999, we
gave a concert each spring at the Academy of Music in Budapest presenting
another side of Kodaly and Bartok's work.'
Muzsikas
The Budapest Spring Festival is one of the major events in the Hungarian cultural calendar. It was first organised over 20
years ago and it has grown into one of Eastern Europe's leading celebrations of the arts.
The festival boasts a packed schedule of events across a wide range of cultural disciplines including orchestral concerts, chamber evenings, church concerts, dance, folk music and
dance.
Muzsikás Ensemble and Márta Sebestyén have regularly appeared at
the Spring Festival since 1999. This release is a compilation of concerts, mainly based on their
appearances in 2003 where they performed together with the Pro Musica
Choir.
'... Hungary's finest active folk troupe... inexhaustible themes handled by superb musicians.'
The Washington Post
'Hungary's leading folk ensemble...'
Gramaphone
'The ebullient music must have been a shock to anyone who thinks that Hungarian music is gypsy violins... ... this raucously beautiful music...'
New York Times
