OK, my frenchtradmusic.com site is now updated to show links to a number of the central France recordings that you can get from major MP3 download sites as well as CDs from Auvergne Diffusion. There are still more to add, as I get time, but this should get people started. I purchased the MP3s for the classic La Chavannee recording "Rage de Danse" for myself from iTunes. It is so nice to have a decent quality version of this recording instead of my old copy of a copy of a tape or whatever it was. Please note that I have also added the two latest AEPEM recordings (Violons de Cezallier and Fraternelle des Cornemuses), with reviews and music clips, to the AEPEM page. Thank you for pestering me, Martin, or it would never have happened! Mitch Gordon Guerneville, California, US _www.frenchtradmusic.com_ (http://www.frenchtradmusic.com) [email protected] writes:
Check out all the out-of-print French trad recordings cropping up on iTunes. Wow! Several recordings have recently appeared there that have been unavailable from any commercial source. Among some of the notables are Rage de Danse by La Chavannee, Musiques Pour Vielle a Roue (and En Bal) by Patrick Bouffard, Accordeon Diatonique by Jean Blanchard, Fai Petar (by the wonderful trio of the same name), Gentiane... Hopefully the list will continue to grow (more La Chavannee, please!). Please patronize these musicians and groups by buying these recordings, and leave ravingly positive comments. I will make adjustments to my frenchtradmusic.com website shortly to take the commercially available recordings off my list of bootlegs, and provide easy links (with my reviews) for getting this stuff from iTunes or auvergnediffusion.fr (the latter for those who still like their CDs recorded onto CD).
