Magyar Furulyások Erdélyben És Moldvában 

Hungarian flutes players in Transylvania and Moldavia

 Hungaroton, 1993, MK 18221

This is a copy on tape I got from a friend during the nineties. The original is a cassette published in the series called FonoFolk.

A very nice and interesting work under the direction of Juhász Zoltán himself a talented furulya player and piper who played with Muzsikás among others.

		Collections of Zoltán Juhász, Róbert Kerényi, Iván Nesztor, Ferenc Pásztor, Kálmán Sáringer. The most beautiful melodies of Transylvanian and Moldavian Hungarian flutists - shepherds, farmers - are played on this selection. Good flute playing is not rare in these regions, so it is here that the ornamental, varied and improvisatory formal culture of instrument playing has survived in its richest state. Flute playing has common and regionally different characteristics, just like singing folk music or dialects: the flutists of the Székely, Székely or Moldavian Csángó regions form the melody and handle their instruments differently. The recordings are made in the musicians' homes or out in the fields and pastures, so you can sometimes hear the birds singing, the sheep barking, the shepherds talking, the dancers tapping their feet. All the flute types used by Transylvanian and Moldavian flutists can be heard on the cassette. The most common is the six-holed, plugged flute (the Moldavian Csángó call this instrument 'sültü', or 'whistle', in old Hungarian). It is this tachnika that gives the Transylvanian flute its rich and variable timbre. And the throaty accompaniment adds even more colour to the sound. Today, tilinka is only used by the Moldavian Csángó. Its whistle construction is unique: it has a wind splitting hole, but the musician replaces the plug with his own tongue. (Another type is even simpler: the sound is made by blowing on the sharp edge of the empty tube.) The tilinka has no holes, the sound is made by the overtone of the open and closed whistle. The twin flute is a single instrument consisting of two flutes carved from wood side by side. One branch has six holes, just like the normal flute, while the other has no holes, like the tilinka. Thus the overtone of this second branch provides the notes to accompany the melody. The kaval is 60 to 80 cm long, with five holes and a special series of notes. Its whistle has a plug mechanism exactly like that of the ordinary flute. The kaval is used by the Moldavian Csángó, who probably adopted it under Romanian influence. Zoltán Juhász Note that on my copy tracks A10 and A11 are one track; the same for B1 and B2, B9 and B10
