L'alouette/Zamfir


 GHEORGHE ZAMFIR ''L'ALOUETTE''

''THE LARK''

Philips, 1974, 6329 143

This is another very good album by G. Zamfir and a small band. Are playing along : the great fiddler Efta Botocă, Pantelimon Stîngă on cymbalum, Petru Vidrean on double bass for the rhythmic-harmonic section. Other soloists are Dorin Cuibariu on taragot, Ion Mihaescu on clarinet and Marin Chişăr with his great style on fluier. All the tracks have been given French names but the original Rumanian names are mentionned too.  We can listen to Chişăr 's unmistakable way of playing on the last track (B5) with one hora followed by a brîul. There is a good version of ''the Lark'' on B1 between Zamfir and Botocă.
