'The teaching of authentic folk music in Óbuda (the two-thousand year-old, and thus oldest, district of Budapest) has a 25 year history.
In 1975 a folk music branch was established at the Óbuda State Music School, initiated and then lead by János Béres. This branch taught folk singing and the playing of some instruments. Teaching at this branch was greatly supported by the outstanding results of Hungarian folk music research and the nation's growing interest in folk music. This interest was revived by the "Táncház" (lit. Dance-house) movement that was launched almost 30 years ago and has acquired European and world fame since. This movement gave a glimmer of hope to the wish that the wealth of folk music accumulated over several centuries would not disappear without trace, that it would have a place in an ever-changing society.
In 1991 the faculty became a special state music school for the teaching of authentic folk music (probably the only one in Europe). Today it teaches almost every Hungarian folk instrument, as well as folk singing. The "classical" method of musical education places the focus on playing from written music. In contrast, the pupils of our school learn mainly by listening to their teachers (who are professional artists having mastered folk music whilst collecting it), or original sound documents. The school has widespread contacts across Europe.
This album intends to draw a picture of the present-day skill of our pupils. Please listen to it with good heart!'
