Mihály Sipos, László Porteleki – violin, Péter Éri – viola, guitar, Dániel Hamar – double bass, gardon The Muzsikás group has been playing together now for thirty years and worldwide are now a “metaphor” for the Hungarian dance house movement and Transylvanian peasant music. They show that Hungarian folk music is of identical value to any other musical genre in universal music culture. They have performed across five continents and in such distinguished venues as the Royal Festival Hall,... the Concertgebouw or Carnegie Hall; a further mark of their versatility is that they are welcome guests at world music, jazz, alternative and serious music festivals. Most recently they have enjoyed great success in concerts bringing folk and serious music together, having worked with artists such as Alexander Balanescu, Jenő Jandó, the Bartók and Keller String Quartets, the Danubia Symphony Orchestra and The Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra. Their albums, such as their exploration of the hitherto unknown Transylvanian Jewish Hungarian music (in The Cock Crows) and their “reconstruction” of Bartók’s collecting work (in the Bartók Album) have been hailed for their tremendous historical importance. Their album “Homeward Bound” was picked as one of the world’s top one hundred world music albums and Simon Broughton praised it as a CD on which traditional Transylvanian music, poised as it is on the brink of extinction, crystallises with the greatest sparkle.
