Wow! Even if you ignore Lizst, Ferenc, and Bartok (take him, please!), Hungary has a crazily rich musical culture. I'm looking foward to downloading from the operetta files. The Hungarians have stuff that is as good as Austrians in this area. Thanks Wolfdog.

"What tears and pretty words XXX?" Can someone translate the title?

It's a line from the opera Hunyadi László. The gist, together with the following line, is "What we can't hold with words alone we will defend with blood and steel."
