Thread Name: Hungarian music?
Subject: RE: Hungarian music?
I'm a Big fan of Muszikas (try their cd Blues for Transylvania for instance), and saw them perform several times in Belgium, this was before the Wall came down, and it was absolutely beautiful. Marta Sebestyen has since also done experimental stuff that I didn't like (cfr. her cd. Apocrypha). When you listen to Muszikas you learn a lot about the classical composers such as Bartok. It was not uncommon to take a traditional song and arrange it in a clean-classical way. Personally, I prefer 'the real thing', because it has so much life and soul in it. Jane: I would love to go to a music festival in Hungary, so if you have more details, please let me know..Mrrzy: are you based in England? Have a wonderful trip to Hungary, Susan! An
