Music CD details
Kallós Archive: Feketelak,
Hungarian traditional music from the Transylvanian Heath
(FA-212-2)
Archive recordings from the collection of Zoltan Kallos.
Since the 1960s Zoltan Kallos has been researching and recording the traditional music and folklore of the multi-ethnic villages in Transylvania - a region where Romanian and Hungarian culture is mixed. His work has helped to preserve the musical heritage of these people and with these CD releases we can now have a taste of the best of these musical traditions.
Born in Válaszút (Kolozs country, in Transylvania) in
1926, Zoltán Kallós follows in the tradition of Bartok and Kodaly
researching and collecting folk music from within the region known as the
Carpathian Basin.
His interest in the folk music of this area started while still at school,
and he has collected and researched the music since the late 1940s. Around
the 1960s he started recording folk music in the various places he had
previously studied, and it is these recordings that make up the Kallós
Archive. In addition to these field recordings he has himself recorded the
songs he collected with the ensembles Okros and Teka.
A forerunner to the Tanchaz (Dance House) folk revival of the 1970s in
Hungary he was awarded the "Tree of Life" Prize in 1990, the Pro
Hungarian Art Prize in 1993, and the Kossuth Award in 1996.
