About

On this CD, René Clemencic and his musicians perform a wide variety of traditional Hungarian Christmas music – from old anonymous works to pieces from the 18th century.
 
Much of this Christmas music is based on Hungarian folk tunes; one of the richest bodies of melodies in the world, ranging from simple, almost minimalistic forms all the way to long melodies with complex structures. Clemencic contrasts these mostly one-voice folk pieces with polyphonic works from the Middle Ages and Baroque eras.
 
To fit the archaic character of this music, many traditional instruments, including hurdy-gurdy, Jew’s harp, gemshorn, musette etc. can be heard alongside more classical ones. This unusual disc touches us with its emotional sincerity.
 
Includes world premiere recordings
