about

'Estrellita' is a song that I had completely forgotten about until I recently watched an interview that my grandfather did for the USC Shoah Foundation in 1996 when he was 93 going on 94 in which he described much of his life story in detail and played this song towards the end of the interview. This song more than any other he played absolutely all the time. The moment I heard this it triggered deep memories from the very beginning from when I first heard my grandfather playing violin, and it is a melody that I have deeply etched within my being. It is also absolutely a part of my story of how I was inspired and entranced by my grandfather's violin playing from before I could even talk, which is a lot of the reason why and how I ended up being a musician today carrying forward the exact same dedication and love for music and life and certain 'je ne ce quois' that my grandfather always had. The track was recorded as a field recording both in Budapest near the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music where Ernő most likely had studied violin (quite possibly with Jenő Hubby), as well as in Szolnok along the banks of the Tisza river with the sounds of the birds and the landscape in the background from where the violin was originally from, bringing the remarkable story of this instrument to a full circle.
