NOTE: Zsigmond VINCZE born in 1874 in Zombor - formerly the Hapsburg Empire, today in Serbia, died in 1935 in Budapest. Hungarian pianist, conductor and composer, author of many successful songs and operettas. Vincze attended a musical training in Budapest, where he became conductor in the King’s Theatre and later in the Debrecen Opera. The haunting tune “Szép vagy, gyönyörű vagy Magyarország” (Hungary, you are beautiful and splendid) was written for his operetta “A hamburgi menyasszony” (The Hamburg Bride) and is quoted by Bela Bartók in the 4th movement of his Concerto for Orchestra. 

This tune is dedicated to all our Hungarian Viewers, on  the 15 of March – day of  their National Anniversary (Hungarian revolution of 1948). 

Éljen a szabad és szép Magyarország!
