The truly wonderful Italian/Sardinian quartet of Riccardo Tesi, Alberto Balia, Enrico Frongia and Daniele Craighead, first published in 1986. Maybe the most effective attempt at making European traditional music accessible to the modern listener without pop, rock or drum & bass

Forse il mare

Riccardo Tesi has become one of my favorite musicians.
I would never have heard of him were it not for this blog. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I bought this vinyl LP more than 20 years ago after seeing Riccardo Tesi at Sidmouth and later at a gig in Berkshire, UK with John Kirkpatrick and a third melodeon player whose name I forget. forse il mare is still one of my favourite albums of all time.

This is my favourite album of all time, it full of joy. I only have a copy on tape though, I'd really love to get a digital copy but I can't find it anywhere ....
