Komplettes MP3 Album von Agrell/Mazunik
Kurz-Beschreibung von CDbaby: This unique selection of French horn + piano improvisational compositions are stylistically somewhere west of the Salon and east of the Saloon, with the pizzazz and surprises of improvisation alloyed with the sense and charm of classical music.
