Kobialka has covered a wide variety of themes, and this album brings him home to the classic folk and patriotic music of America. The songs, which include renditions of "Oh Shenandoah," "America the Beautiful," "Goin' Home," "God Bless America" and much more, are rich with feeling and emotion. However, these qualities are taken to a new level through the interplay of Daniel and his son Semyon Kobialka, who takes after his father in terms of violin skill. Together their joint strings capture a sense of timeless beauty and heritage that befits songs about our great nation. Price: $18.98 |
