A recent review of the Ökrös Folk Music Ensemble with Kálmán Balogh and
Ági Szálóki:

“Among Hungary's most soulful and virtuosic folk bands, this
chamber-size group of string players
and ethereal vocalist Agi Szaloki--tore through a program of csardas,
laments, rhapsodies and
story-songs so sonorous and emotionally wrenching that one could barely
keep from clapping or
one's eyes from misting over. There was also the alternately astringent
and lushly romantic sound
of Kalman Balogh's cimbalom, ...  the wonderfully nasal, keening quality
of Szaloki's voice,
[Szaloki’s] delicate dance steps,  the insistent drone of the violas and
bass under the violinists'
close harmonies, myriad ornamentations and slightly bent notes. Even the
explanations of each
selection, by the ensemble's scholarly leader, Csaba Okros, proved as
charming as they were
informative.”  THE WASHINGTON POST --Pamela Sommers
