Worked yesterday.  

 

Grandiloquent organ playing steeped in religion this is not. Instead, rather fascinating transcriptions of Rumanian folk melodies that was recorded live in multiple churches across Europe.

 

 

Cellier was the man who "found" the Bulgarian Voices. 😉

This is where I start running into problems.  By which I mean thank you for sharing that. 

 

Been meaning to look through the Disques Cellier offerings among the many other audio related tasks awaiting my attention.  Would you save me some time and suggest a release with better mastering.  There seem to be a considerable number of re-releases on at least as many labels.   Including bundles with their following albums.  

 

I have these two CDs and can't really say if they're the best mastering available:

The 4AD own records I own have very good sound.

 

I listened to them live the day my second son was born. Beautiful, hair-raising experience.
