Ultimate Bluegrass Autumn CD,
By Keith Gagliardi (Alma, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shakin' Down the Acorns, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
I have listened to all of Tony Elman's music since 1983. When the weather turns cool, the frost is on the pumpkin, Tony is on the Stereo. Perfect for baking cookies, bobbing for apples, drinking hot mulled cider or wine, or just enjoying the beauty of autumn!! A must have for all bluegrass/old timey music lovers.

Exquisite,
This review is from: Shakin' Down the Acorns, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
Simply one of the loveliest trad music recordings I have ever heard. All but one of the tracks centers around the hammer dulcimer, which is passionately and sensitively played. While mostly brisk, rhythmic, and dancing, there is something quite contemplative about the music; somehow, Elman draws a remarkably cantabile ("singingly") quality from the tunes, without compromising the strictness of the time or the energy of the pieces. The final track, "Star of the County Down", which is not a hammered dulcimer piece but a recorder duet with accompaniment, is the most lovely, heartbreaking, haunting rendition of that tune I have ever heard. Twenty years after first getting this recording, it still raises goosebumps.

A Wonderful CD,
By Cephasv (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shakin' Down the Acorns, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
Tony Elman's "Shakin' Down the Acorns" is an outstanding recording. His renditions of traditional folk music are lively and well-performed, and his interpretations of the music are fantastic. This album is a must for anyone interested in hammered dulcimer music, but is enjoyable for anyone who likes toe-tappin' good music!
