The five tracks are “Danse Macabre” by Camille Saint-Saens, “Zigeunerweisen” by Pablo de Sarasate, “Nigun” by Bloch, “Introduction & Tarantella” by Pablo de Sarasate, and “Meditation” by Jules Massenet, all composed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Discovering the amazing Alena Baeva with UltraAnalogue Recordings…
Ed, Listened again last night. This time relaxing with my wife, a glass of wine and the lights out. Overall, the experience was even better the second time. I find that listening in the dark sharpens the senses and allows a clearer focus on the music. Although I am in no way an expert in […]
