For centuries Gypsies have played a vital role in composing and performing the music of Hungary. In An Evening at Chardas, Hungarian Gypsy music vibrates with the sounds of violin virtuoso Bela Babai and His Fiery Gypsies. Piano, accordion, cymbalum, guitar, and bass accompaniment are interwoven in technically impressive violin passages from Babai, the "King of the Gypsy Violin."
