"I got this CD and it's really amazing. These teenagers (as the membership in the Rajko orchestra is limited by the age of 20) are really good. Fast, precisious, profesionals. There are 3 primas. The one, Puka Karoly, is one of the best hungarian violin players I've ever heard. He plays so exactly, swimmingly and of course fast. The tracks are well known pieces like Villam (Lightning) csardas, Csardas (by V. Monti) or Hungarian rhapsody. The artistic director really did his job well. You won't believe that this can play a kids of about 17 years. Rajko has had very good reputation, many distinguished musicians (as e. g. Laszlo Berki) played there.
The CD is maybe too short and there are pieces played by many bands before, but you will like it."
