From record label:
"Over the past years we have put together several successful concert programs demonstrating the close relationship between Béla Bartók's works and folk music. (...) As he wrote modern classical music for our time, he used melodies, melodic turns, harmonies and rhythms which he came across on his journeys collecting folk music and while transcribing the music afterwards.

For us, taking part in the Transylvanian village dance events, hearing the musicians there up close, seeing the dancing, being there to experience the heart-stirring atmosphere - has made a lasting and crucial impression on us. This is what we would like to conjure up and pass on in our concerts.

We have found that no matter where we play in the world, this music awakens deep human feelings in people. We are convinced that the music we have inherited here in the Carpathian Basin is the common treasure of music loving audiences of the world.

This is also what we would like to pass on with this DVD - brought about in collaboration with pianist Jenő Jandó. Rounding out the concert filmed at Budapest's Millenári Teatrum, are otherwise inaccessible video and film clips from the last decade and a half."
Dániel Hamar, Muzsikás
