| If you like classical music, don't miss the Hungarian national opera: Erkel Ferenc: Bank Ban 
Bank Ban is packed with music that would become greatest hits, but the isolation forced most likely by its Hungarian-language text. Remember, you can listen some accords before you buy at the Amazon web-page. Erkel Ferenc: Hunyadi Laszlo Another opera from the above auther, another pearl of Hungarian classical music. Don't miss to listen this opera if you visit Hungary! Regularly on the repertoire of the Hungarian National Opera-House. For Hungarian folk-music, I recommend any CD from Sebestyen Marta and/or the Muzsikas band. For example: The Best Of Marta Sebestyen . Search for the 'Muzsikas' band and choose one! This is a CD with traditional folk music from Kalotaszeg, Gyimes, Szatmar. Enjoy 20 oroginal folk songs. Click on the image for more info or to buy.
