Recorded by Bernard Lortat-Jacob during fieldwork research in the 1980's, Albanie: Polyphonies vocales et instrumentales is one of the very few serious collections of Albanian folk music dating from the Communist era to have been made available to the wider world. The performances are based on those given at the National Folklore Festival held at Gjirokastër in 1983. Limiting himself to a survey of vocal and instrumental polyphony from southern Albania, Lortat-Jacob succeeds in presenting a collection that is arguably unrivalled in terms of quality and scope to this day.
