"Stunning instrumental wizardry and undiluted Slavic songs from southern Hungary. Vujicsics features Marta Sebestyen and others. Named after a popular Hungarian musicologist, Vujicsics is a group of schooled and professional musicial folklorists who concentrate on preserving the traditions of Serbia and Croatia (southern Hungary and Yugoslavia). They are highly regarded for their broad repertoire of collected songs and spirited performances with a variety of singers, including Marta Sebestyen." (Alllmusic)
"This is the soundtrack to a documentary by U.S. public T.V. A professional "folk" ensemble, Okros, from Budapest visited the countryside and played with the village musicians. The gypsy and Hungarian populations live together in the villages, so you can't completely separate the music into groups. Nonetheless, a minority of tracks are strongly gypsy inflected, the majority are of a very purely archaic hungarian nature. The singing tracks using the villagers as singers (about half the tracks) I can't abide, but that is not a value judgement. I truly couldn't say whether they are bad singers, or simply singing in a style that is alien to me. I will say the the few tracks where Marta Sebestyen sings, instead of the actual villagers, I like very much. The five archaic hungarian instrumental tracks are superb." (Amazon).
Album uit 1988.
"De beste Hongaarse folkband (complex, rauw en opzwepend) leggen het verband tussen Bartoks vioolstukken en Transsylvanische folk. De rol van Sebestyen had wel wat groter mogen zijn." (DvdB, Oor)
Album uit 1997. Diepend uit een repertoire van Hongaarse traditionals speelt men danstunes, die verraderlijk complex inelkaarsteken, waar Marta's stem soepel doorheen meandert.
