Fran & Flora ~ Precious Collection

Precious Collection is a remarkably diverse LP from cellist Francesca Ter-Berg and violinist Flora Curzon, drawing from Klezmer and Yiddish tradition, folk and modern composition, with a smattering of electronics to sweeten the pot.  One is never sure what one will

Ramon De Marco ~ l’ora senza nome

sleepmakeswaves ~ It’s Here, But I Have No Names For It
