#3038: New Music from Hungary
Hear works by Hungarian composers and musicians on this New Sounds, including Istvan Marta, György Ligeti, and the Amadinda Percussion Group. Amadinda happens to be the first professional percussion group in Hungary and has had a number of works commissioned for them, including one by Hungarian composer Istvan Marta. Marta, has been called a bit of a minimalist who works in folkloric Hungarian and Transylvanian touches, sometimes even field recordings.
Plus, we'll hear from Muzsikas, an ensemble who are as capable with traditional music as with the classical compositions of Bartok, Kodaly, Kurtag and Ligeti. And more.
