„If you would see me, Tamás…”

This program is a remembrance to Tamás, with such songs he liked to listening to from me, which we often sang together on tv, on records or in the „bartókbéla”, in Kővágóőrs, in Sárvár and in Nyírbátor. (Only a few people knew that he liked the old Hungarian song literature: Balassi, Wathay and unknown composers.) After his death, I put on my repertoire some songs of Tamás with Bereményi texts to keep alive his memory; especially those which re-formulate the messages of ancient times in the 20th and 21st century. If Tamás would see me now, he would certainly pick up his head with his distinctive facial expression and say: „tell me, this interests me so much!” (Zoltán Kátai)
