outstanding

This is one of my all time favorites. I have this CD since 1998 and I keep going back to it time and time again. Both instrumental playing and singing is superb. This CD was my first introduction to Concerto Italiano and to Sara Mingardo. Since then I bought more and more. All my friends now listen to Ms. Mingardo. I traveled to Milan for one of her performances.

Anything by Concerto Italiano and anything by Sara Mingardo is highly recomended.
