The CD called Sounds of the Seven Towers features the most successful programme music pieces composed by Ferenc Kiss. Among others we can hear the world-famous composition written for the Hungarian Pavilion, which was designed by Imre Makovecz for the Expo 1992 in Seville; the accompanying music written for the folk-dance gala programme at the Szeged Open Air Festival; some music excerpts to the dance choreographies by Jolán Foltin and other rarities.

”For me, the Hungarian folklore erudition is the treasure hidden in the Seven Towers. I’m stuck between the towers of Vienna, Kassa, Munkács, Brassó, Újvidék, Zagreb and Maribor. The gates are closed, but I feel well in here and don’t want to be freed. The voices you hear sound out from here.” – Ferenc Kiss

(It is a plan to move home the Hungarian Pavilion which was designed by Imre Makovecz. Everybody who buys the CD, makes a contribution to this project.)
