For the title track of 'Jealousy' alone, this album is worth getting. The bringing together of such incredible playing is a rare thing indeed, but you simply have to hear the complimenting of both players of the violin to each other to believe it. Some tracks are left to a singular approach and yet when they play together…Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli managed to achieve a beauty and grace that causes this album and others to be a worthy and truly classic album to have. It's jolly in parts but not too jolly and it's graceful but without being too graceful. Well worth getting if you admire either the violin or either of these two musical geniuses.
Falsobordone is one of Sweden's foremost medieval ensembles. This record with music from France, Italy and Galicia (performed on bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, harp, rebec, medieval lute, percussion, organetto - and vocals) was first released back in 2003 and has since become a classic. The two core members of Falsbordone, Anna Rynefors and Erik Ask-Upmark, invited many friends to join them and the result is an invigorating and entrancing recording that has received rave reviews from all over the world.
