This beautiful video went straight to my heartstrings. My father sang these songs and even recorded a cassette in 2004. His village was similar to these. When he escaped in 1947, he experienced the same melancholy as Bartok and I'm sure many ex-pats. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful documentary on one of the most important figures in the history of music and the field of Ethnomusicology.
@nyarfa1 Hello - Glad you like it - I love it as well - I'm putting the rest up now - three more sections - hope you like these as well. I have been very influenced by Bartok - his music and his folk song collecting. So this film is perfect!
Thank you so much for having made me discover this 4 part-documentary ! It's moving to hear original recordings and discovering these old pictures. I've been working on Bartok's, Kodaly and Ligeti's vocal pieces for 4 years and their link with traditionnal music, singing both with my trio. Do you please have more informations about the piano piece played at 2:32 and song that we hear at 4:57 in the tavern ?

It is mind blowing to see how much resemblance was between Hungarian and Romanian country folks back then....traditions, music etc
Terribly touching and inspiring. For a musician, this documentary is pure gold.
Köszönöm szèpen a feltöltést❤

My ancestral music!
My biggest surprise is that this film exists and I have never seen it before.

The song is a "kanásztánc", the lyrics here is "Csóri kanász mit főztél...", but it is better known with "Házasodik a tücsök..." lyrics
The song at 4:57 was arranged for piano by Bártok as part of his collection "For Children" --> ruclips.net/video/MR8ljgVVamI/видео.html
