Awesome female folk singer! Every track is stunningly rich.

"This is the most beautiful female voice I have ever heard. Haunting melodies, perfect pitch, richness in tone, the most amazingly sensitive aural interpretations of the meanings of the songs pours through to the listener's soul even 'though you can't understand a word of Hungarian...in summary: I have a CD and vinyl collection of all kinds of music that numbers in the thousands and Iren's "Rosebuds in a Stoneyard" is firmly in my top five favorite. Her voice is sublime and divine beyond description. You will NOT be disappointed."
More than a rosebud!

"Another wonderful Hungarian voice to compare with Marta Sebestyen's! The backing music is modernist (i.e. does not employ 'traditional' instruments) but is generally very good. Only on one or two tracks (for instance, no.13) does it become disco-ish and spoil Iren Lovasz's efforts. This is a minor problem on a 56-minute CD, and should not prevent anyone buying it."
