The Sound of Cimbalom

"The Sound of Cimbalom" brings together a wide-ranging collection of tracks that highlight the versatility and character of the cimbalom, a hammered dulcimer traditionally central to Central and Eastern European music. This playlist spans upbeat Balkan horas like Ion Miu’s “Hora Lautareasca” and Nicolae Bob Stănescu’s “Geampara,” Romanian laments from Toni Iordache and Vasile Pandelescu, traditional Hungarian folk tunes by Kálmán Balogh and Viktória Herencsár, and modern crossovers such as east-west fusion pieces from Miklós Lukács and Marta Topferova.

Listeners will find a balance between traditional sounds—like the dance rhythms of Strážničan’s Moravian folk tunes and the klezmer influences from Pete Rushefsky and The Other Europeans—and more expansive interpretations including classical arrangements by Márta Fábián's take on Bach and György Kurtág’s avant-garde compositions. Whether focusing on traditional village dances, Gypsy musings, or contemporary experimentation, the playlist captures the full sonic palette of the cimbalom across cultures and generations.
