Nothing makes for more of a celebration than a wedding! This project by Kati Svorak, accompanied by a whole host of musicians is more than music, it is a snapshot of olden traditions and folk cultures.

I once had the privilege of being invited to a concert Kati was giving in her home outside Szentendre. Tamas, her husband, showed us around their home which was full of stunningly beautiful folk art objects; paintings, carvings and the like. These had no doubt been gifts and purchases from the village folk where they had collected and researched the folk music that you will hear on this release and Kati's other work as well. Listening to this music now reminds me of that night, each of the songs being a beautiful work of art from those villages.
Ian Morrison

From CD notes:
' Kati Szvorak's recording is a wonderful mixture of the pure genuine gems of various cultures. Her melodies radiate harmony and leave the listeners with the conviction that being different has its own right and the coexistence of the varied cultures enriches us all. This is a music and an art that will help mutual approach and understanding in the European Union as well.'
Goerg von Habsburg

Sung in Hungarian, Slovak, German, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Gipsy, Yiddish.
