Rajko Band delights audiences everywhere! A typical review:

"The Rajkó Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra gave a concert last Friday evening at Crystal Theatre in Norwalk, and I don't know when a group of performers and an entire audience had more fun.

It happened to be the 200th anniversary of Hungarian-born composer Ferenc Liszt, better known to us as Franz List, and the first half of the program was dedicated to him. The second half was a knockout program of Gypsy music, also known as Roma along with pieces by Khachaturian, the Johann Strauss family, and Rossini, among others.

Brahms, who loved the gypsy music and dance forms of Hungary, was represented by his familiar Hungarian Dance No.5. All the other pieces were by Hungarian composers.

Adding authentic atmosphere, a series of photographs of the country, views of cities, castles, and rolling green mountains and valleys, were projected on the stage screen during the music, giving us a chance to see something of how beautiful Hungary is.

As well as a wonder-working performance on the part of the orchestra, it was a joyous demonstration of the musical spirit and soul of an entire people, one we do not, alas, hear often enough anymore. "
