Basil Buttons Taraf was received with great joy from the audience at the Theatre de la Ville in Paris, at the end of September.

five musicians, clothed in sober black and white, knew how to capture the attention of thousands of people for more than an hour. Romanian musicians have played in front an enthusiastic public. Thus, Basil Buttons, violinist and leader of Taraf, tried to regain the spirit of old fiddlers, whose music is increasingly forgotten.

Quintet, consisting of violin, accordion, guitar, dulcimer and bass, was joined by the voice now and then even instrumentalists. I could not help but compare them with the Romanian artists musicians of the most important ensembles have arisen in recent years, artists have succumbed to fashion and lined up so-called "world music" ensembles supported by promotions aggressive marketing.

Well, the music of Basil Buttons and his colleagues, sound genuine artisans who live intensely every moment spent on stage, has a beauty which imposes itself. On stage at the Theatre de la Ville, between two solos, violinist at the core group behind the public back, a gesture that makes him just to better companion and guide, to give them soul and breath.

on stage while singing, the musicians are not reluctant to talk in whispers among themselves or to appreciate a smile by a colleague who managed to snatch Applause room. How to imagine music more full of life when every moment of the show gives you a sense of unique creations, unique, offered a privileged public? Dissatisfaction

Enescu
important place dedicated to music fiddler in the show program (fascinating as the violin solo in the score "Serbian fiddler" as an echo of the suite for violin and piano "Impressions from Childhood" by George Enescu), the paved the way Romanian folk songs (suite of games) and some songs of glass, so good vocal performances and accompanied Ion Cino accordion.

be said that the French do not make a clear distinction between these musical influences. Confusion maintained by influences from the generically named "Eastern Europe" which includes the Balkans, Hungary, the Slavic nations to the north and Baltic countries. How to understand, starting from such generalities, the subtle influences Romanian fiddlers music, rooted deep in the heart of Romania, but the artistic challenge presented with such skill and passion on stage at Theatre de la Ville?

George Enescu, Romanian and Paris to the bone occasionally deplored the systematic confusion that most French do it in Romanian folk and gypsy music. This is because both styles of music exist independently for a long time, each with its own characteristics and well established. The golden age of Gypsy music, which has its roots in time immemorial, as you might think, influenced a whole generation of famous artists. And this prestigious heritage is even claimed's folk music artists Basil buttons.

crowd was certainly pleased to hear "this handful of stubborn traditionalists", as he humorously called ethnomusicology Hope Radulescu, artistic director of the group. Working perfectly true, because you need to defend doggedly with a passion as contrary to trends in modern music repertoire, without making concessions, no rush easy results obtained sometimes with music of our time on how loud and annoying as it is tasteless.

BETS WITH TRADITION
ovaţionând public was not wrong and the game music scene or virtuosity of George Petrache ţambalistului George Răducanu, resembling, in a manner somewhat different interpretations of the most beautiful Toni Iordache (No - not known and god cymbals). But praise is justly deserved by the whole folk, whose program ended with two encores, supported by an exuberant energy.

would have been enough to be witnessing the enthusiasm with which both French and Romanian spectators flocked around the end of the performance artists pentru a Autograf has obtained it, his realizaţi ca şi în Singur this Masur încununat of success fost asa-numitul "pariu tradiţionalist.

His writing attracted controlled by the abundance of his ideas. His

Fourth Symphony, subtitled "Giocosa" , although written in the last decade of the twentieth century, refuses easy pseudo-modern while remaining easy listening. The score captive by its theatricality constantly wavering between tragic and comic. This oscillation creates a grotesque little complacent and tinged with anxiety. The third and final movement is a beautiful desk in percussion, creating a chaos from which rises a Ode to Joy shy and soon drowned in a sea of glas. This coda funeral is it saved by a rope ultimate prank? At each decision.
