Sok előadótól hallottam már a Monti csárdást, de igazán szívhezszólóan csak egy magyar roma tudja eljátszani. Köszönöm az élményt!

[@monicacall7532]

This is REAL Romani music! I closed my eyes and was back in Hungary again.

[@tomdee1373]

By whom were you taken and do you need help?

[@kresivarivkah612]

I will be there soon. Maybe I will stay.

[@nemetamalia9680]

IGNORANCE AT ITS FINEST. Let me explain: thanks to the European Union, nowadays gypsies are called Romani. Gypsy music does not exist, they have taken the repertoire of Hungarian people, Romanian, Ukrainian, etc, but they did not compose any of these songs falsely claimed "gypsy" just because the player is a gypsy. For the sake of humanity, please learn the difference, otherwise, it will no longer exist for you to enjoy it. Saying that, I have no problem with the interpret, I just wanted to bring a ray of light to your heart. It's not fair to the Hungarian people to steal their folklore like this.

[@hungarianweapon4034]

@@nemetamalia9680 big respect to that comment, I agree 100% 🇭🇺❤️

[@katalinszenasi4150]

Yes this Hungarian folklore music .. but bcuz gypsies are pure talent in music they put it on a higher level .. so it's not gypsies who came up with this song .. but we do have our roma music as well but doesn't sound like this .

I am stunned at the beauty of his violin, best interpretation of Czardas to date-our piano teacher, Profesor Monteverde, used to play it for us when we were 7 years old in Lima, Peru !! At 70 resonates as the most beautiful musical piece of all times!!!

Yes! 🙏🇷🇴❤ I'm half Romanian, half Hungarian. Born in Romania. We have beautiful music and culture.

[@davidbernard238]

So beautiful!! Reminds me of my parents dancing the Czardas. They were so beautiful dancing. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@jasondessing3508]

Rumor has it that a restaurant owner in New York once hired a gypsy violinist to play romantic songs for the dinner guests. The skilled violinist put his violin to his cheek and made it cry, weep, and moan, playing passionate love songs from the old country, Hungary. .. One couple got so carried away by the music that the man slammed his dinner date across the table and started making out. .. Alerted to the situation, the startled restaurant owner appeared, yelling: "Damn it, Lorenzo! Not THAT romantic!"

This is the best ever performance of Czardas. Don't mean to condemn other world class violinists, but he played it so much wonderfully than everyone.

[@brokefarmerjohn2422]

My grandma used to take us to a Hungarian festival every year held at her church. It’s been YEARS since I have heard this, took me right back to that dance floor. There was also bags of grapes hanging off the ceiling people would pull down while dancing, was a great time. Everyone would wear Hungarian clothing, I had a “Kiss me I’m Hungarian button on” that would always be popular with the older lady’s never the cute young ones lmao. My grandma now 93 years old traveled from Hungry to Canada on a White Star ship when she was a little girl then got her US citizenship and moved to USA. I never learned Hungarian and don’t know much about the traditions but have family in Hungry still that I have met a few times.

[@ramongcastaneda5308]

The singer here, the late "Ivan Rebroff" died in 2008. He was German, not Russian, having been born in Berlin in 1931. His real name, i.e. his birthname, was Hans-Rolf Rippert. Here's a link to the Wikipedia entry on him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Rebroff

Ivan Rebroff described himself as international, the "connection between East and West". He became a citizen of Greece and lived on the Greek island of Skopelos in the Sporades. You could say he was Greek too according to this. He used to call himself as an International singer who was born in Germany BUT his roots were Russian. And you are where from ancestors were......................

[@atnahapetian]

Beautiful performance of a master violinist.

[@steinwaygrande3971]

I saw Ivan Rebroff in the Durban City Hall which was packed to the rafters and standing room only. About 2500 people in the city hall watched as he enthralled us with his music. I think it was in the very late 1960s or very early 1970s that he toured South Africa.

[@nameless071]

I'm sorry but the Csárdás is a Hungarian traditional dance and music . Csárda same as a pub in England or Ireland. Gypsies play so nice the Csárdás on violin. One more thing. Hungaryan people are not same as gypsy people. Gypsies sayin we are different people.

[@ju-yongha8030]

Thanks for your information! I simply try to say he, Josef, is great in this performance. In the introduction in this video the commentator said Josef is from "real Gypsy family..NOT emphasizing "Hungarian." Any way I love this rendition or version of Czardas, composed by an Italian composer, V. Monti!!!

[@garybair6455]

You are right Hungarian's don't like to be called Gypsies if there not. I'm Hungarian Gypsy on my Mamo ( mean's Mother ) side I have a Cousin who is a very good Violin Player George Batyi who play's a lot in the USA.

[@kathleenhuey1691]

Your last name of Szalai caught my attention. My father's parents came from Hungary and his name was Joseph Szalai and was wondering if you could be a distant cousin?

[@gipsymelody1268]

@@nameless071 sorry it is not.... it made by gypsies and even the verbunkos which is the origin of csardas, it was played by gypsies in the army during 18th century... yep +90% of musicians in army were only gypsies! csardas just made in hungary but not hungarian...

[@dale19532]

I not only love the music as a Hungarian/Slovak, but it brings to mind the folk tale my grandmother told me about HER grandmother being seduced by a gypsy violinist ("fiddle player"). May explain how when doing shows where I was supposed to be a bad "fiddle player', I managed to do it just well enough that it wasn't totally abhorrent! (Same with piano - have no training whatsoever. In one show, someone taught me chords to play to accompany my singing. One night, I lost track of the piano keys, and just soldiered along. Director told me he overheard an audience member at intermission saying "He must be a marvelous musician to play the piano that badly so well!)
