"'ll try to describe its musical content in brief: Macedonian, Bulgarian, Polish, Russian and Gypsy folk motives and themes are arranged and performed on two button (chromatic) accordions. Some other folk instruments are used too (tarambuka, bagpipes) as well as vocals. Rhythms are typically Balcan and South Slavic rhythms: 9/8; 7/8; 6/8. South Slavic motives and rhythms are something I have grown up with, but on this recording they are brought up to a level of very fine art. Technically, all the pieces are performed with great ease along with amazing tone and bellows control. Stylistically, Piotr and Jacek play with a lot of feeling and sensibility, their phrases 'breath' and 'sing' and are so refined that it touches you emotionally. One cannot be critical of their performances. In general Balcan folk music needs a very strong bass pulse and a colourful variety of different rhythms (often Poly-Rhythms). In the pieces where vocals appear it gives them very special feeling of deepness and melancholy. I would even dare to say Slavic melancholy! The vocals are also excellent! At one point these fine musicians used the theme from the last movement of Zolotariev's Sonata No 3, which they do so with tastefulness and style. An absolutely brilliant CD!" (accordions.com)
