Csehy Musical Memories CD Commemorative Edition, Volume 1
Featuring the Music of The Csehy Musical Messengers
Item #780093200241
From hymns to the semi-classical, the music of the Csehy Musical Messengers is now available on this first commemorative CD.
“Music crossed the boundary lines of Hungary, Prussia, and the United States to bring together three gifted artists, uniting their talents to produce an excellent musical treat.”
“Mr. Csehy made these brilliant and bewildering arrangements of hymns he loved, featuring double stopping, arpeggios, scales, trills, and harmonics that make the violin sing the songs that, once heard, will linger in your memory. These songs were reproduced from studio recordings made between 1950 and 1965 and preserved for your enjoyment.”
Violin students will appreciate listening to his expert playing. They might learn some new techniques!

Reviews of Heartstrings A Biography of Wilmos Csehy
“Barbara Sutryn has caught the Csehys’ musical excellence, Christian vision, servant’s heart, and superb integrity. Heartstrings chronicles a vibrant and enduring chapter of Kingdom music evangelism and instruction across the country and around the world.”
“From my youth when my parents spoke enthusiastically of hearing the Csehys at Bible conferences through the two years I ministered at the Summer Music Schools at Muncy Terraces, I was grateful for their incredible musical abilities and Christian dedication.”
From Rev. David M. Virkler, Evangelist
“I will never forget the ministry of the Csehy’s. As a boy, they were often in our church and home! I am delighted that at last his contribution to the cause of Christ has been so interestingly chronicled in this book!”
From Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Moody Bible Institute
“As a director of the ministry that bears the name of Wilmos Csehy and carries out his vision, I am daily reminded of his passion to reach people for Christ and his passion for music. This account of his life has confirmed my impressions of him from our meetings some thirty years ago and has deepened my appreciation for his commitment to Christ.”
From Randy Haynes, Director, Csehy Summer School of Music
