CSURGÓ ZENEKAR
Folk Music From Hungary
ARC EUCD 2134 (2008)
From Szakszárd in south Hungary, a ‘dance-house’ string quartet - fiddle over
chugging viola, cello and bowed double bass, and occasional tambura, guitar and
whistle - with vocals from female singing dancers and fiddler Krisztián Siklósi,
in spirited trad music from around Hungary, studio-recorded during a festival in
Canada.
