Hello Doc, Unfortunately the solo recordings "A Cetera" by Micheli Raffaelli is not available since maybe 15 years. It was recorded in Paris by one of the most famous sound engineer of cinema : Antoine Bonfanti in 1983. Maybe one day I hope we will find this masterpiece in cd, it is extremely important for the revival of the corsican cetera. Raffaelli did almost everything about this instrument even if other musicians have done a lot of researches. This is my favorite cetera recordings because we find in this album all the soul of the corsican music and the soul f coriscan people. This album is an heartbreacker! The album "cetera, cister's songs" diricted by Henri Agnel and played by 10 cetara players of Corsica is also beautiful, in the different style, different way. The most important thing in this album is the arrangement from the pieces of Stefano Allegrini written for corsican cetera in 1720. For people who are interested to know about Cetara, 23 years ago there was the first and best album of cetera by Micheli Raffaelli, and now 22 years later, an album of cetera players diricted by henri Agnel where we can hear some young cittern players who were 20 years old at this time, and cetera players "à l'usu anticu" (in corsican means old school) like Matthieu Luzi.
