Quartetto Gelato Review
This was the debut recording of a Canadian group that plays chamber music with an unusual attitude. The repertoire ranges from a J.C. Bach Oboe Quartet to "Danny Boy" and "O Sole Mio." They play a variety of instruments, and violin/mandolin player Peter De Sotto also sings in a beautiful light tenor.
