The genre "Rhapsody" seems to be as closely related to Hungarian music as the aria to Italian music. On this CD the Hungarian oboist Lajos Lencsés assembled a few works for his instrument by Hungarian composers. While the pieces may not all have the word "Rhapsody" in their names, they all breathe the spirit as such.
