Customer Reviews:
Wonderful Collaboration.......2003-06-07
This CD is a great collaboration between the Breton singer Erik Marchand and the oud player Thierry Robin. Breton music has a very haunting and modal sound, and Marchand works off of the native scales and modes found in that part of Western France. The oud is naturally suited to playing outside of the Western scale, and Robin's playing brings out the un-Western sounds of the stark songs. The songs are just gorgeous, the oud playing divine, and there's cool accompaniment on bombarde, violin, and tablas. Doesn't get better than this, highly recommended.
Unique Sound.......2002-07-29
This CD of traditional songs has a very different sound than anything I've heard previously. There is minimal instrumentation; oud & tablas mainly with a bit of violin and some kind of wind instrument. Marchand and Marcel Guillou handle the vocals. Thierry Robin plays oud only. The songs are duets. It's sound is very hard to describe. Its a kind of staccato, in a way almost serialistic. It doesn't feel like anything French or Celtic or Gypsy that I've ever heard. It almost sounds like a couple of French guys trying to make Pygmy music or trying to make up their own Islamic prayers. I wouldn't call it accessible. It's very good but it's also very challenging.
