'Periferic 2003
Folk - World - Ethno from Hungary'
Various Artists
(BGCD117)
The ever growing and evolving roster of artists on the Hungarian label
Periferic Records.
'... just released by Stereo Periferic in Hungary (it) gives a taster of
what the label is all about. This year sees their tenth anniversary and so
far they have released 120 albums. In many ways this is the perfect way to
find out about some of the bands involved, and to be able to get a feeling
for the sheer diversity of the music that they are releasing...
... Hétrét contains some wonderful female vocals and gentle
acoustic guitar while Houlduvar drives on with piano and violin in
perfect harmony and the bassist determined not to be left behind. The
label itself describes some of the music as ‘folk’, other as
‘Hungarian folk’ and yet more as ‘world’, but for me the most
surprising number was the last one, which is by Református Énekek
I and is a Hungarian version of “Bless My Soul The King Of Heaven”
which I have sung many times in church myself. Of course the title is in
Hungarian so I wasn’t prepared for it, but it sounds as if the
congregation and organist are well in tune with each other.
Periferic may not be a well-known label in the UK, and is the only
Hungarian label that I have dealings with, but they deserve your support
and produce some fine music.'

Feedback Magazine
Folk, World, Ethno-World, whatever you want to call it, it is all
great music and a great introduction to what is happening both in the folk
and more contemporary field of music in Hungary today. Or to be more
specific the music of the Carpathian basin.
A great sampler to what is available on the Periferic label from Hungary.
