The Years of Exploration
For the most part single-handed, and travelling through difficult country with primitive and cumbersome equipment, Bela Bartok made sound recordings of some ten thousand folk tunes, mainly East European. This programme. the first of two, describes his prodigious work in the field, and includes recollections by colleagues, and by peasants whom he recorded.
