"This live collection of themes is focused in the album "The Emigrant" (1989) and the classics from 1978 to 1984. All pieces were rearranged and re-energized in a amazing way... two spectacular hours whith the masters of "ethno-acoustic rock"."

An amazing experience.....

No pigeonhole, just glorious music

"Flairck, a Dutch instrumental group which resists classification into a particular genre, calls its product chamber music with classical, wide-ranging folk (Celtic, Gypsy, etc.), blues, and jazz influences. This two-CD set seems to be the only Flairck item on sale in the United States, and consists of a live performance of some of their best-known numbers. The rapidfire "Sofia" is my own favorite. The only thing that comes to mind for comparison is Mason Williams's "Classical Gas"."
