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
