Above all, a terrifyingly talented singer, Irén Lovász, whose take on “Zengövárkony” merely hints at her microtonal sensibilities, her intuitive sense of dynamics, her gutsy contralto range, less manifest elsewhere than the striking girlish timbres heard throughout. Spellbinding too is “Madárijesztö,” wherein Lovász eerily matches every pulse and tonic subtlety of the droning harmonium and reedy Turkish violin, producing a unison from beyond.
