Ferenc Farkas (1905-2000) was one of the longest-lived members of the wave of Hungarian nationalist composers which began with the rise of Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. A student of Ottorino Respighi in Rome, Farkas blended Respighi’s Latin melodiousness with the Magyar folk-heritage that Bartók and Kodály had made the central element of Hungarian music. His Old Hungarian Dances of the 17th Century have become a staple of the wind-quintet repertoire; the other five works on this disk display the same irrepressible joie de vivre. “In volume of output, Ferenc Farkas (1905-2000) is something of a Hungarian Villa-Lobos, and his Serenade from 1951 has a touch of the Brazilian composer's fluid fecundity of invention. The Phoebus Quintet perform with deftness, wit and nimble mastery. It's an old cliché of critical special pleading, I know, but here is music which really does deserve to be much better known.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2006 *****  BBC Music Magazine
