The Great Regondi, Vol. 2
BRIDGE 9055
Reviews:
“The natural home of Regondi’s music is the salon, where the passionate nature of his performances was directly communicated to his close-at-hand audiences. We cannot recapture that personal immediacy but these discs, made by the cream of the specialists, come as close to it as anyone is likely to get.” - Gramophone
“In short, this disc is a great introduction to an unjustly neglected talent, and a lot of just plain enjoyable listening too.” - High Performance Review
“If this delightful music were on a movie soundtrack, it could start a whole new vogue for the concertina.” - The Boston Globe
