Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Twenty years after her death in 1977, Maria Callas can now be found on a CD conceived and produced by clarinetist Robert Marcel Lepage and turntablist Martin Tetreault. The duo evokes Callas in unexpected and facinating ways, in a musical melange that is at once lyrical and humorous."-Ambiances Magnetique
