Doppler Fantasy (full version) Ittzés+Gypsies

The Hungarian Pastoral Fantasy by Franz Doppler in a special arrangement for flute and Gypsy band. Gergely Ittzés is trying to reconstruct the original style heard by the author. The Hungarian Gypsy music (not the same as the Hungarian Folk Music) that effected most of Doppler's music, has a living tradition till today. The ensemble consists usually of 1 or 2 violins, a viola, double bass and dulcimer (cimbalom). If there is a wind instrument joining them it is usually the clarinet (replaced here with flute). This style has a lot of improvisational elements which you can hear on this recording, too, especially in the accompaniment. It was recorded for the CD 'Flute For Four' published by the Fon-Trade Music including tracks by András Adorján, Gergely Bodoky, Imre Kovács and Gergely Ittzés, all playing on the same gold flute. www.fontrade.music.hu, www.ittzesgergely.hu
