Known for her strong, clear, powerful playing of the vielle (medieval violin, aka a "fiddle") Shira Kammen offers up a particularly vibrant collection of her work with this release of medieval songs from France, Italy, and Brittany. The album is named after the bitingly cold winter wind that flows from the Alps down to the Mediterranean coast, but the performances are all bright, joyous, and warm. Full liner notes available with download!
