"The CD starts with perhaps the best opening track I have ever heard - one male and two female
singers, accompanied by two accordions, a clarinet, two tamburelli and several castagnole play a
tarantella from Montemarano, recorded just last year. The instruments begin at a fair old clip, joined by the voices after about one
minute, and the whole thing - without greatly accelerating in speed - manages to get more and more and more exciting as the track.... "When it comes to an end, after 11¼ minutes, you are left wishing they'd managed another five minutes or so! This is not really the place for a track by track description but, take my word for it, every single one is splendidly performed, exciting, interesting ... and great listening." - Rod Stradling, Musical Traditions |

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.
