This anthology is a panorama of rare and forgotten works that were unearthed by musicologist Jean-Baptiste Mersiol and represent authentic sound-evidence of the soul of Brittany: early recordings with bombards and ‘biniou’ bagpipes (dating from the days of oral traditions in instrumental practice), songs by Theodore Botrel, religious works, poems, organist Gerard Pondaven, and also the first recordings by Alan Stivell when he was a young harpist who accompanied the marvellous folk singer Andree le Gouil. The third album is devoted to the wonderful ‘forgotten’ folk artist Eliane Pronost, completing a range of musical colors that testify to the richness of this almost insular culture.  Price: $42.98 |
