For this musician, bringing Bartok closer to the audience as a person and  an artist is a labour of love. \"I grew up with his music. It feels like a mother tongue to me. And I'm  interested in everything he wrote, from the earliest works to the late ones. It's so important to see the traditions he came from and to understand how he found his voice as a composer.\" Varjon notes that Bartok was fascinated by the simplicity and sincerity of the people who sang these songs to him. Those two traits probably corresponded with Bartok's own personality as an artist and a human being. \"When I look at photos of him, what I see is a simple, sincere man; there seems to be nothing false or hypocritical in his character.He also seems highly vulnerable. Bartok spoke slowly, quite naturally, but not much. He never tried to put on a show to win his audience's favour. He was truly an authentic person. At the same time, he had the energy and temperament of a volcano rumbling inside him - an energy he harnessed with an astounding amount of sheer discipline. The result was a high degree of fascinating, unresolved tension. Bartok, like Schubert, is one of the composers I find the most moving.\"(Excerpts from an interview in the booklet)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation I - Molto moderato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation II - Molto capriccioso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation III - Lento, rubato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation IV - Allegretto scherzando\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation V - Allegro molto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation VI - Allegro moderato, molto capriccioso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation VII - Sostenuto, rubato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprovisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20 Sz. 74~Improvisation VIII - Allegro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Sketches Op. 9b Sz. 44~\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortrait d'une jeune fille \/ Portrait of a Girl - Andante con moto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Sketches Op. 9b Sz. 44~\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalançoire.
