Jenó Hubay, Fantaisie tziganesque (Gipsy fantasie)

Hubay, hungarian composer, wrote much music based on the folklore of his own country, and also of the gipsies... For that particular piece, He asked the collaboration of a true Gipsy : Aghazzi, to enable him to write exactly those very peculiar types of runs used on the cymbalum... a sort of open grand piano (rather piano-forte) without keyboard, and played by knocking the strings directly with sticks like for on a xylophon... The only trick is that the strings unlike the piano, are not range from low to high pitch, but in a way that even if it ressembles to disorder, is in fact very complex, and permits in just playing the strings in a row to get proper gipsy's arpegio formulas... That was recorded in concert in a French castle, by Jean-Claude Féret and Christine Hartley-Troskie...

But, unfortunately for the moment, the texts are still only in French (but music goes over that border isn't it !).
