Ambra and Fiona Albek, identical twin sisters who form the Albek Duo, have been performing extensively throughout Europe, in North and South America and Australia. From their home in Switzerland, at the southern end of the Alps, they can look north to the mountains that inspire them and south to the countries that have produced so much of their favorite music. In this CD, they celebrate the colorful music of Italy, France and Spain.
