This is another combination of repertory & performance which has a number of similarities to numerous other possibilities. However, there are a few very fine tracks here, and a nice variety chosen for the program. The opening track is especially impressive, and this has become my favorite rendition of the mega-hit Can vei la lauzeta.
The performance is excellent, perhaps Alla Francesca's best. The addition of Raphaël Boulay is especially welcome, and the flute playing becomes increasingly compelling.
