The Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music, University of California, Santa Barbara, presents:
A festival of Hungarian and Gypsy Folk Music
The music that inspired Bartók
Authentic village music from Hungary and Transylvania
Ökrös Folk Music Ensemblefrom Budapest, with Kálmán Balogh (cimbalom virtuoso) and Ági Szalóki (folk singer)
"...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." The New York Times
