Béla Bartók at the piano Hungarian Folk Music Katie Kadar

[nostalgiahistoria67]

I have a cd on the Pearl label (from UK) titled ' Bartok & Kodaly: Hungarian Folk Music' with piano by Bela Bartok, vocals by Maria Basilides, VIlma Medgyaszay & Frenec Sekelyhidy and is one of the all time fave cds in my collection. The singer of this song is Vilma Medgyaszay and is a stunning performance recorded in 1928-29.

Absolutely exquisite music - a great cooperation of a clear, sensitive yet earthy voice and Bartok as a great composer and superb pianist.

I wish I could understand what she's singing.

[TheAlonetogether]

La voix est celle d'une femme devant la musique d'un être tranché. Les accords sont ceux d'une ponctuation temporelle. Le duo se faufile au centre de l'audition en serrant au plus près la nostalgie et l'émotion du dialecte., Une voix dans la nuit des sonorités merveilleuses du piano écoutant chaque son de la voix. Un siècle crie, un peuple pleure, le temps déploie ses questionnements, réponses en soi pour discerner le mariage de deux âmes de l'espace.

Anyone please tell me what's the lyrics about?

[obalu24]

This is a hungarian folk ballade. "Kádár Kata" in hun.

Marton Gyula and his mom talking about Kata Kadár. Marton want to married with Kata, but his mum don't allowed because Kata is poor. (Marton's family is rich, and esquire).

Martons mum killed Kata, so Marton killed himeself.

Marton funeral in the temple, Katas in the temple's garden.. From the 2 crops grow 2 flower, and in outside interlock the 2 flower.

This is the fulfillment for the love.

Sorry. My english is terrible.

Hungarians sure have happy stories don't they?

Beautiful song anyway. I only recently discovered Bartok, it's amazing.

[konzolmester]

Talán az eggyetlen nagy magyar zenész volt.

Maby the only great hungarian musician.

te halottal lisztrol, kurtagirol, kodalyrol, ligetirol, rozsarol, es ne emlitsem a nagyrendu folk zeneszeinket lakatos, sebestyen

[konzolmester]

Enézést. Kiegészítem tévedésem; Egyetlen nagy (magyar népdalt) használó magyar származású zenész. Liszt magyar volt de halványan izlelteti (a 10 éves koráig hazánkban töltött gyerekkorát) a magyar népdal,mind a 1300 műveiben.Ezt maga Bartók és Kodály is megmondta. Bartók,Kodályal eggyütt működött a magyar zene fejlesztésében de maga Kodály nagyon kevés zongora darabot írt. Így Bartók Béla marad a legnagyobb igaz Magyar (népdaltíró) zenész.

[09090707]

es megis nem latod be, hogy azok akiket en emlitettem nem voltak nagy zeneszek? furcsa vagy

[konzolmester]

Na nem érted :-) Eggyetlen nagy,vagis a többi kissebb,kevésbé elismert zenész mint Bartók. Én így tanultam régen a zene órákon.Persze ők is nagyok voltak de kihez mérten képest nagy? :-)

Na nem vitázok mosmár :-D

[konzolmester]

jaj de hülye vagyok..."mint Bartók." helyett "ellentétbe bartókkal" akartam irni.

[GRAILKNIGHTPARZIFAL]

His music is the spirit of Hungarian man

[workingforvacation]

dude. bartok has to be like the best contemporary composer ever. he was a really incredible guy.

[guitardrew05]

his music is def. amazing, some of the most unique shit ive ever heard, ever.

[BigStick3456]

It's a shame not many people know of Bela Bartok.. His music was very much beautiful. Hungarian folk music is beautiful in it's own right.

[konzolmester]

Thankyou very much! The only problem is many of its people nowsdays doesnt really believe in its magic and cant realize its own worth.

[turritorony]

@BigStick3456 The singer is Erzsi Török, great singer, one of the few who sang Bartók before the 2nd world war. Bartók was refused by the conservative public.

[dalecampbl6]

@BigStick3456 bartok is sooo new sounding, i'm tired of all the german romanticism and french romanticism or even russian romanticism that pre-dominates all of classical music...it's time for some more exotic sound & that's precisely what Bartok was able to bring to the world.

[samaroh]

haunting

[ConFuocoPiano]

It is the first time I have heard Bartok himself play the piano. Thank you for sharing. It is amazing!
