Customer Reviews:
Reviewer: Michael Smith 'Eg Felettunk, Eg Alattunk - The Sky Above, The Fire Below' (Hungarian Bagpipe Music) The Carpathian bagpipes sound like nothing I've heard before. The disc opens with a chorus of four of them (almost the only ones left these days), plus percussion and an impressive, solemn chant. According to the 50-page booklet, this used to be a pagan solstice ritual, and the meaning of the words in the chorus has been lost. But you can tell how ancient the music is just by listening. The disc continues with some earthy carnival songs ('the landowner is angry that we had a party here; take the house away, we're staying'), shepherds' flutes, love spells for the fire ritual, Christmas carols and a song about a judge drowning in a pail of whey. It's compelling music, perfectly recorded, and the fascinating song lyrics are also given in English. |
