Echoes Of Budapest - George Feyer

Play Gypsies, Dance Gypsies!

George Feyer
Echoes Of Budapest
Vox VX 25.450
1956

From the back cover: George Feyer, who, incidentally, is a native Hungarian, brilliantly reflects in his playing the charming spirt of these melodies. Here again, as in his other ECHOES recordings, he gives an international touch to the gems of national music. His successful "ECHOES" series consists of Echoes In Paris, Echoes In Italy, Echoes Of Broadway, Echoes Of Christmas in addition to the present records.

From Billboard - August 13, 1955: Most dealers need not be reminded of the potent sales history of Feyer's "Echoes" series. Tho none has sold as well, probably, as the fabulous Paris package, the first in the set, each succeeding entry has done exceedingly well over the counter. Here is another, and the pianist's imaginative touch is applied generously to mostly familiar material in the Hungarian tradition. Should be a moneymaker.
