Grecian Walks
Jean C. Roché
The temples and amphitheatres of Ancient Greece provide a stunning sound stage for some of its natural wonders. The songs of Nightingales, larks and warblers are all accentuated by the acoustics of the ruins, although the powerful Rock Nuthatch needs little amplification! This gentle recording truly evokes the open-air spirit of a land that inspired such calm and contemplation in ages past. 60 min.
