About

An exuberant new recording from the internationally renowned Hungarian orchestra, Danubia Orchestra Óbuda.

“Real children of the Puszta and the Gipsies” is how Brahms himself described the Hungarian Dances when writing to his publisher Nicolaus Simrock. The composer added to the quoted extract: “ie they’re not of my begetting, I simply brought them up on milk and bread”. His picturesque phraseology refers to the fact that the Hungarian Dances are not original compositions in the strict sense of the term, but are for the most part arrangements of borrowed material.

From the end of the 19th century Hungarian Dances increased significantly in popularity and became favourite encore pieces for symphonic orchestras.
