Building a Library on Kodaly's Dances of Galanta. Sarah Walker recommends a recording of Kodaly's joyful orchestral work based on the Hungarian dances of the border town of Galanta where he lived as a boy. As he remarked: "At that time there existed a famous gypsy band and this was the first 'orchestral' sonority that came to the ears of the child..."

Verity Sharp looks at some recent releases of British folk music from Eliza Carthy and The Wayward Band, Chris Wood, Twelfth Day and classics from Anne Briggs.
