The above review is fantastic, and I wholeheartedly agree with it, Still it's sad to feel Yves Lambert very solid presence missing, and I dont know what happened to the previous fiddler, and foot percussionisy. They performed in their new format at Sidmouth this year, and were as spectacular musically as ever. I'm not sure that the very lovely dancer was needed as a focus, and personally the band is almost too slick nowadays. I still bought the Cordiale CD, and like it a lot. I think their best CD is still La Mistrine- just as they started their arrangement experiments.
