5.0 out of 5 stars a sparkling rollercoaster of sound through transylvania, 3 May 2001
By A Customer
Alongside the vocal prowess of Marta Sebastyén, the Hungarian folk ensemble Muzsikás retrace the musical path taken by composer Béla Bartók as he collected and transcribed a corpus of Hungarian folk music in the early decades of last century. These collecting journeys took him to Hungarian language territory now incorporated into Romania and provided Bartók with much of the inspiration for his own work in the classical European tradition. By recreating the crisp sound of the original village musicians, Muzsikás transport us to a magical realm and allow us to hear the tunes as the great composer himself would have heard them. Sometimes we are treated to a juxtapositioning of the original recording and the Muzsikás reconstruction, which is fascinating. The music itself is wonderful - lively village dances that capture the feeling of the Carpathians and tragic songs that seem to speak of the region's troubled history. There is a wide variety of instruments on the recording - essentially strings but also flutes, tamburas and other magyar specialities. I really like the way that the music combines a livelly dance rythym with sense of tragedy, provided much of the time by the haunting but meaty voice of Sebastyén. Having cycled through this part of Europe last summer it was very special to be able to hear the music of the communities amongst whom I had travelled. If I'd only heard this CD prior to my visit I'd have made a greater effort to hear the music live! A must for any fan of Bartók and/or Central and Eastern European folk.
