Great Christmas Folk Music A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

The Liszt Academy bids farewell to the old year with a true folk music star parade. Singer Andrea Navratil of the ensemble Zurgó is an inspired interpreter of Moldavian Csángó songs, whose performance style and tonality sooth the spirit. The virtuoso dulcimer technique of Kálmán Balogh has, quite rightly, earned him world renown: his ‘modern’ know-how of intense technical preparation and practice as well as an intuitive empathy for traditional folk music sit well together in his stunning play. In fact, among aficionados of the instrument he is considered the founder of a new school. Kossuth Prize-winner András Berecz is a singer and narrator: he narrates through song, and by singing he tells a story. Known as lead singer of Egyszólam, Ökrös and Új Stílus for close on 25 years, András Berecz has also gained renown as a collector of folk songs. Szeret Ensemble provide foot-tapping accompaniment to this, playing Romanian, Slovak, Serb and Roma tunes with equal verve.
