Notes

Róbert Lakatos approaches the works of Béla Bartók with as much respect as Barók himself once approached the treasure of Hungarian folk songs - by abstracting the stylistic characteristics of the folk melodies he had collected and classified, Bartók created one of the most significant life-works of 20th century classical music.

The most interesting pieces on this album are those in which Róbert Lakatos has returned Bartók's musical works to their supposedly original, traditional rural musical enviroment. When he surprises us now and again with a well-formed improvisation or variation he shows us that folk music could not have developed, could not have reached the refined form which Barók became acquainted with if the individual achievements and ingenuity of various generations of village musicians had not contributed to a greater or lesser extent to the common musical treasure of the people.

The musicians partnering Róbert Lakatos, apart from the outstandingly accomplished viola player László Mester, are all from the Uplands. (The Uplands of old Hungary, now in southern Slovaika.) We can enjoy the violin playing of Tamás Cseh, who is currently pursuing his studies in classical music, while his brother, Sándor Cseh, plays the cimbalom, which, together with the voice of Éva Korpás, is one of the leading contributors to the album's harmonious atmosphere. The carefully attentive accompaniment and lively dynamism provided by the double bass and accordion of Tibor Lelkes and the guitar and viola of Zoltán Hanusz give all this a solid foundation.
