Title: Forget the low fidelity, this is a winning disk
Review: If you can, disregard the low fidelity audio on this CD; it's a magnificent compilation of music from a fascinating part of the world. While the Slovenian selections are mediocre, a beautiful rendition of "Pastirce Mlado" more than makes up for it. The Dalmatian numbers are hard to find and stunningly gorgeous, and the Adriatic tamburica duet justifies the price of the CD alone; the Serbian kola could have been more exciting, but the frula clip brims with energy and even beauty. However, the most impressive selections are those from Macedonia. The "danse rapide" is truly phenomenal, and perennial favorite "Duj Duj" comes out with honesty and Rom spirit. Please don't allow the poor audio quality to prevent you from enjoying a Balkan connoisseur's dream and a novice's blessing.
