Various - Ferenc Farkas: Chamber Music, Vol.5

This twelfth release in the Toccata Classics exploration of the music of Ferenc Farkas (1905�2000) once again puts his chamber music with flute in the spotlight � here with an oboe chaser. As with previous albums in this series, the music highlights the characteristics that make Farkas� music so appealing: catchy tunes, transparent textures, buoyant rhythms, a fondness for Baroque forms and a taste for the folk-music of his native Hungary that marks him out as a true successor to Bart�k and Kod�ly. The works in this recording are all reworkings � by Farkas or the two soloists here � of music first written for different forces and now taking on a new lease of life.
