This much younger Hungarian sextet tore into their work with a seamless blend of emotion and energy. Their opener, The Fire Dance, encompassed the full gipsy experience.

Tempos fluctuated freely to accommodate vast mood swings, from heart-rending balladry to frenzied full-out excitement. Papa Can You Hear Me, a Michel Legrand number, was a violin-piano duet of extraordinary finesse. Honeysuckle Rose, begun at a stealthy half-tempo, ended in a blazing contrapuntal two-violin jam.

Frantisek Janoska displayed the piano wizardry expected of an alumnus of Budapest's Liszt Academy.

Jeno Liszetes played the cimbalom, a horizontal harp struck with long-handled mallets, with amazing speed and accuracy, and second violinist Laszlo Boni has worked with Lakatos since childhood. I don't know the Hungarian for "Bravo!" but that's what patrons were shouting after each number.
