An extraordinary female string sextet presents a repertoire inspired by Teresa Viarengo's heritage. With every note from the strings Betti Zambruno gives inspried readings of the Piedmontese vocal repertoire.
| Again against expectation, the music is not sombre; the arrangements retain the structure of the traditional songs, even as they are transcribed to a more formal medium. It's quite close to composers like Bartok and Skalkotas, approaching traditional music from a classical perspective, and yet the sound is completely contemporary, a servant to the music and not used to glorify the arrangers or the players. The result is an intriguing, soothing and enchanting record with solemn, grandiose air that feels quite appropriate. - Nondas Kitsos, RootsWorld |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
