 Rating:  - Who can improve upon perfection?I refer mainly to the technique and musicality of the players. The atonality, the nuances, the striking of the bows stay with me.I feel a sense of place and close to the music through this impeccable recording. I look forward to sending this CD to some of my friends . One small change I would have made though, I would have concluded it on a livelier note. Actually not... I agree, bitter sweet. Rating: - a pleasant surpriseLittle I can add the the excellent reviews already offered here below. One thing, There are two vocal performances. I have the lyrics to Rooster Is Crowing, but the other I do not. Although it is apparently in Hebrew, the pronunciation is so idiosyncratic I can't make out the words, nor can any of my Jewish friends, including one who is Israeli. The problem could be Ms. Sebestye'n but I doubt it. Her teacher is perhaps not Jewish, or else this is correctly pronounced but in a very distinctive ...

Read More Rating:  - A commentBoth of the previous reviewers have said some true and some false statements. Regarding what Cinkapanna said: Yes, the word "Maramaros" is Hungarian, but not the region which it designates, which is, and was inhabited by Romanians. Although under Hungarian military and political rule until WW1, Maramures (NW part of Transylvania), was inhabited by Romanians for the most part. Nowadays there are some 72% Romanians and 20% Hungarians in Maramures. The figures were largely similar immediately ... Read More Rating: - Maramaros IS HungarianI hope any semi-informed individual will disregard the comment made by "tziganul" stating that the music on this CD does not have Hungarian roots. Maramaros WAS Hungarian until WWI with about 53,000 Hungarian speakers. Please, do some research before misguiding people. The CD is great and has wonderfully haunting melodies! |
