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 Sebasty�n, the Hungarian folk ensemble Muzsik�s retrace the musical path taken by composer B�la Bart�k 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 Bart�k with much of the inspiration for his own work in the classical European tradition. By recreating the crisp sound of the original village musicians, Muzsik�s 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 Muzsik�s 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 Sebasty�n. 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 Bart�k and/or Central and Eastern European folk.
