More romanian folklore - 3 compilations w notes

3 compilations meant to present romanian folklore to an international audience. The first one, Greetings From Romania Vol. 1 - produced in holland, introduces a wide range of regional styles, with the occasional lautareasca theme - check out Hora de la Clejani -, all orchestrated in the typical electrecord tradition, unfortunately, no info on the performing artists is available. The second one, Music around the world: Romania, introduces a rare instrument in romanian folkloric recording-history: the piano (!). The disc is loveable for that reason alone, but there is also a lot of nice gypsy violin on this record. I think these recordings are pretty old but i've no way to be sure. Three artists are listed but no explanation as to who plays what is granted :(
Last one, World Library of Folk and Primitive Music - Romania, is a nicely documented (check the inside-folder), with a lot of recordings ranging from rural amateurs to urban pro's (or the other way around?).
Enjoy :)
