    @yotta - some beautiful playing there - although the gypsy orchestra members seem to be doing well, as they are so fat, but the Cembalom player is something else.

    I used to be crazy about Hungarian Music when young, still do when I hear the Rakoczy march or some of the Liszt rhapsodies . . . Brahms also wrote beautiful Hungarian music - he had a personal friend who was a Hungarian gypsy violinist and went on tour with him.

    Many years later I began to like Piazzola's music and discovered the 'Bandoneon' on a visit to England. My daughter S. took me to a concert by a visiting Swiss Bandoneon player, whose name I do not remember.

    But here is something unusual - a Piazzola piece with Bandoneon as the solo instrument on occasion of the wedding of a South American to a Prince of Holland.
