“We are all familiar with the skylark, the “lark Ascending”. But few are aware that it is just one among many species in the lark family. To look at, they are all rather similar : small and clad in a mixture of earthy browns. But when you hear their songs, how completely different they are ! On this CD you will hear the songs of the nine European species. I have selected the best passages that I ave been able to record over the last 35 years while travelling across Europe !” Jean C. Roché
