My favorite Hungarian composer Bela Bartók was born in 1881 in Nagyszentmiklos, Hungary and died in 1945 in the US, in New York. His music is a kind of remix of Central-Eastern European folk music... His music is strong and clear at the same time and shows perfectly the Central-European soul...
Romanian Dances contains six movements. They are simple, easy-to-listen to them for 'un-educated' people and have a very special intimate atmosphere with a great power.
We recorded Bela Bartok's Romanian Dances with my chamber music partner Eva Antal outside of the church last summer in June. Romanian Dances was transcripted for every possible classical duo arrangements so we tried it in classical guitar duo. And it works...
We played Romanian Dances around in Hunary in small villages lots of times and there were couple of concerts when small gipsy kids started to dance to it!! It was a great success!
Have FUN!
