'About the music I intend to play: to start of with, this music deserves to be re-appreciated in it's essential form and for that reason I don't intend to create a new style immediately. It should again be played by musicians who really want to play it. Of course, we will not try to sound like a Gypsy band out of 1920, but also we'll not play current versions either. I would like to bring all these elements together that made me want to study this music, that still inspires me, even when it seems to be dead already.' TCHA LIMBERGER

In true Hungarian Gypsy Band style, bursts of soaring musical tragedy and czardas madness are delivered by this group with a passion and technical virtuosity that is astounding. An astonishingly accomplished multi-instrumentalist, the world class violinist Tcha Limberger comes from a famous family of Gypsy musicians and grew up with the Gypsy-jazz style of Django Reinhardt. Drawn to Hungarian gypsy music from an early age, he spent three years studying its roots in Budapest. Now just 30, he tours with this small orchestra of hand-picked Budapest Gypsy musicians and there is no 'Primas' playing in Budapest who commands such respect.
