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:
'Winter Chasing draws from the music of the peoples of our country in the widest sense of the word. I could almost say, it embraces nearly all the peoples with a common fate during its thousand-year-old disastrous, bloody history who have influenced each other musically. Katalin Szvorak, who gives expression to this common tone, is a highly competent, artistic interpreter of the music of the Hungarians and all the peoples living with them.

May you regard the music you hear as a bunch of flowers made of the music of thousand years and love it both as a whole and each of its precious flowers separately.

And accept it with proper love from from Katalin Szvorak who has gathered the bunch and presents it to you now.'
Arpad Goncz

Sung in Hungarian, Slovak, German, Moravian, Armenian, Czech, Gypsy and Croatian.
