This CD brings the listener the sounds of bells worn by hears of cows in mountainous districts and goats and sheep from the Mediterranean area. Different recordings follow on from one another to form one “pastoral symphony”, and, thanks to the index, the listener may choose any particular passage. Numerical recordings, these sounds are now disappearing; they form a relaxing metallic music, evoking the harmony that still exists between man and nature in remaining pastoral areas. Patrick Frémeaux
