DESCRIPTION:
Under the alias of Primas Stefan and the Royal Tziganes, Steven Staryk recorded several LPs released by the UK label World Record Club, Staryk and his superb ensemble explored the sometimes celebratory, frequently sad, and always passionate music of Hungary, Romania and beyond. Staryk stated that Gypsy music "doesn't explain. It feels." An overview of Gypsy music published in The New York Times noted that, "Between bursts of passion and czardas madness, the Hungarian soul deeply savors melancholy."
