The idea dies hard that folk music is produced as naturally as a bird sings on the bough. On the contrary, when folk traditions are in flower, they demand a high degree of talent and training, of individual fantasy and technical skill. This programme shows that in Europe and elsewhere there are authentic performers whose art is, in its own idiom, comparable to the art of the great concert virtuosi.
