Que de belles et bonnes choses sur ton blog...
Bonne continuation, l'ami, et fais nous découvrir d'autres petites merveilles comme celles déjà en place.
This is amazing. I never would nave thought to pick this up, but I'm glad I downloaded it. It kind of reminds me of Hadigner's Fiddle.
Some of the double stops are pretty wild. Anybody know if they're using alternate tunings?
I have no clue what tuning they're in...but it's an evil one! Like the hardanger fiddlers, this is devil-music -- just listen to the howls and churchbells in Pyesna O Bodnarevnye. Wild wild deep forest music! This kind of joyful madness can't be faked! It could only come from Eastern Europe.
Thanks for this and several others I've downloaded from your blog. I looked at this record a million times at a store I worked at, and must have even thrown it on to check it out, but it never got me enough to bring it home. I know better now.
