"NMC has struck gold ... A wonderful sequence which held us enthralled, playing the programme through with only one brief pause; a marvellous 'concert' which builds on the legacy of Bartok's and Kodaly's pioneering collecting blong ago, and gives 'cross-over' a new and enriched meaning; a disc to which we will return."
