From what I can gather, machine translation being what it is, Svetlana
Skorobogataia is from Byelorusse and performs on an instrument called
a zymbaly, whatever that might be. Although the iTMS has this album
called Russia (with a backward first R) from an Italian
record label, a German website has the identical set of tracks under
the name The Magic of Zymbaly. Which still tells us nothing,
although I was able to gather that Ms. Skorobogataia is accompanied by
an Italian pianist on her collection of what I assume are (at least
mostly) folk tunes. Among them is
Midnight
in Moscow, a childhood favorite about which I blogged
almost exactly a year ago.
Which I know is irrelevant to today's post, but until somebody explains
the zymbaly to me it'll just have to do.
