Musical Preferences in Hungary


I really like the music of Carl Orff. My favourite is Carmina Burana. I first heard it in Town Szeged, when we were listening to music with my aunt and my cousins. My father borrowed this CD, because he also likes it and we recorded id at home for us.

This music is beautiful and glorious. So it isn't surprising that Istvan Kovacs (the best Hungarian professional boxer) chose this music for his entry into the ring. His entries are always glorious. I was very happy when I heard this music on TV. That was Istvan Kovacs's first match.

Unfortunately I haven't got enough time so I can't listen to music nowadays, but I always try to spare time for that at weekends.

 Stiltskin: Inside

On of my favourite tracks is Inside made by Stiltskin. I didn't mean to borrow it some years ago, I only took is by chance from my cousin.

This track is one on the Best of Levi's Hits. It is the music of a commercial of Levi's. At the beginning if sounds as if you were in a church, listening to the chorus and suddenly it turns into rock style.

First a man with good voice shouts, then talks, shouts... I used to listen to it half year ago, when I thought my life was boring and terrible. I was depressed by winter. In spring I become cheerful again and I was glad, that I was OK. This song will always remind me, that it's not the good solution to let yourself depressed.

I like different sorts of music, so I haven't got a favourite one. For example I like the songs of Trainspotting, the Underworld (it's an English group), but i like Mike Oldfield and The Beatles too.

I think the most famous of them is The Beatles, so I'm writing about them. As far as I know, they made entirely new music and it had got a mighty success among young people. They were youthful, handsome, powerful and they sang with hearth and soul which was unusual in the 60s.

Some years ago I saw a TV programme about their lives and I became curious to listen to their songs. My father likes them, so he has some Beatles CDs. I listened to one and I liked it very much. My favourite song is 'Let it be' by Lennon and McCartney. I think those airs are much happier than music nowadays and it's much easier to dance for The Beatles than to dance for a techno song. There's one more advantage of there songs, they're in English, so I usually can understand what they're singing about.

I'm very sad because there are no parties with this sort of music for youngers.
