A Festival of Hungarian Folk Music
The music that inspired Bartók

Authentic village music from Hungary and Transylvania
ÖKRÖS FOLK MUSIC ENSEMBLE
from Budapest
” … Hungarian string players who have remembered the ethnic research of Bartók and Kodály in their revivals of peasant tunes… rough, joyous energy… Mr. Balogh played some impressive cimbalom solos, scampering through melodic variations or showering the music with arpeggios, the set was a showcase for the violinists, who drew sighs from the slower melodies and accelerated into breakneck turns and trills and curlicues…remarkable virtuosity.”
