'Bagpipe Music can be played in other ways too: it can be sung, played on flute, and on the violin...'

'What do you want?-- the fiery Black Bull asked the shepherd when they met at the crossroads at mid-night on Christmas.
I want to be a good bagpipe player - answered the Shepherd boldly.
You will be, but your soul is ours!
said the Devil (because that is who the fiery Bull was), and then he left....'


'If you want to play the pipes you have to go to Hell to learn how to play them.'
Hungarian saying

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.
