Program Notes
The Puszta is the name of a vast prairie in Hungary, where gypsies oftenroam with their wild horses. In typical gypsy style, composer Jan Van de Roost wrote this original composition in 1988 that describes the temperamental, melancholic and flamboyant moods of the nomadic gypies of eastern Hungary. Written in four movements, subtitles Four Gypsy Dances, the exciting music of Puszta is bright, colorful and intriguing.
