Incorporating swirling violins, Marta's low-trilling vocals and various other traditional Hungarian instrumentations, this 1997 collection from one of the foremost exponents of Hungarian folk music is intriguing and exceptional. You'll discover similarities in style to traditional Bulgarian folk music, and even some distant connections with Celtic folk music, in this material from Hungarian villages and regions like Szek, Gyimes, Ordongosfuzes, Mera and Transylvania. Ranging from wedding songs to songs about love lost, these gems reflect yet transcend their ancient roots. Some of us here would place this squarely on our top-10-world-music-titles lists!
