marcel cellier presents mysterious albania - various artists On ‘Marcel Cellier Presents Mysterious Albania’ the sheer variety of musical styles revealed is breathtaking…orchestral pieces heavily influenced by Oriental music, beautifully melodious vocal airs, sprightly gypsy airs, meditations on violin, astonishingly virtuosic bagpipe laments, Slavic sounding vocal choirs, vocal polyphony that calls to mind Bulgarian vocal music and other string or flute music combinations that simply defy the imagination. Every performance here is simply electrifying. It’s sobering to think that such beautiful and original folk music is being created as we speak on the European continent. With beautiful sound (which applies to all ARC releases) this one goes right to the top of the world music tree, when with the benefit of the web-site we initiate DIASPORA’s first readers’ and critics’ poll at the end of 2003.
