Lukacs-Cymbalom Legacy (DVD)

This 45 min. film narrates about a particular and ancient instrument, the Cymbalom, and the music of Hungarian virtuoso Miklós Lukács. Miklós is a Roma, whose radical way of blending traditional gypsy tunes with classical harmonies, contemporary jazz and popular music is taking him and his cymbalom into new and exciting musical territory. Unsatisfied with the archaic approach the cymbalom is known for, Lukács decided to expand the horizon of this ancient instrument by dedicating himself to the exploration of what he likes to call his "infinite treasure chest".
