Music reviews of May I Kiss Your Hand: Hungarian & Gypsy Fiddle Music & Songs
Music Review: Interesting....but
Rating: 3 Stars
While this album is a nice collection of pieces and pleasant to listen to, I feel a lot of the songs have lost their original feel. If you want to hear the song "Mori Shej, Sabina" the way it's supposed to be sung - listen to Jozsef Balogh (of the band Kalyi Jag) sing it on the album "O Suno". If you want to hear the song "Szerelem" or "Cinege" listen to the versions by the Sebo Ensemble (called "Love, Love/Where Were You at Night Titmouse?") on their album. I feel the songs on Csokolom are mere imitations sung with bad accents, but if it will make non-Eastern Europeans appreciate the music of this region, more power to them.
Description of May I Kiss Your Hand: Hungarian & Gypsy Fiddle Music & Songs
The debut album from Csokolom is bursting with festive dance tunes, haunting laments, and a recurring Gypsy influence. The shuffling fiddle and walking bass that kick off "Amari Szi, Amari" wouldn't be out of place in a Southern American string band, but when arranger-musician Anti von Klewitz comes in with her distinctive lilting voice we are transported to another land. While concentrating on traditional Hungarian instrumentals and songs such as the gorgeous gem "Szerelem," von Klewitz also leads this accomplished group of violin, viola, kontra (Hungarian chord violin), and double bass players through original songs in several languages. A solid grounding in traditional music informs the single four-hour session, during which most of the material was recorded, lending it an energetic cohesiveness. American listeners who have pricked up their ears for the sounds of the Hungarian band Muzsikas (with Marta Sebestyen) or Finland's Varttina will be pleased. --Peter IrvineWorld Dance CDs
