Music CD details
'Elveszett Eden -
Lost Eden'
Various Artists
(EDCD009-10)
A 2 x CD set of Folk music recordings from historical Hungary, Moldavia, and Bukovina,
past in celebration of the 1100th anniversary of the Conquest.
"… It is unbelievably important and influential as an experience of time and
meaning, it is the glowing of a lost Eden with its own tragedy since all lost Edens are
tragic."
Janos Pilinszky
"This release captures the most traditional
art forms of the music from the Carpathian-basin area. An era on our cultural history came
to an end with the passing of the performers of these vocal and instrumental songs."
Ferenc Kiss
What are lost are the people that sing and play on these archive recordings. They are no longer with us, but we have in these recordings a window to their tradition and art. It is a wide tradition held dear to many - not only Hungarian but Romanian, Slovakian, Hujul, German, Jewish and Gypsy people; and what better way to celebrate this music than to share it with the world. Thus these recordings have been lovingly restored and are presented here for the first time on compact disc.
