Here’s a translated excerpt of the review of Plønk’s Bridge of Glass by Hans van Deelen on the New Folk Sounds blog:
You would think that an instrumental album that is completely filled with the same two instruments would quickly get boring, but that is not the case. Both men are exceptionally skilled on their waldzither and know how to capture your attention fully with their choice of melodies, the way in which they arrange them, and the dynamics of their interplay. There is an enormous peace in their playing, which easily transports you to the musical world presented.

Congratulations Björn and Christian - well deserved indeed!

If you can’t catch Plønk in concert, get your copy of  Bridge of Glass (CD or download) at the Cetra Records store:

Stay tuned for Cetra Records’ First Anniversary/ holiday sale!

Please remember that postal services here in the EU have suspended small parcel shipments of less than $100 to the US. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but until this tariff issue is resolved, we can only offer downloads to our friends in the US.

Cetra Records is proud to announce that two CDs by costumed Tudor minstrel Dante Ferrara - https://www.cetrarecords.com/artists/dante-ferrera - will be available at the Cetra Records store on 4 October 2025.

Rosasolis, DF’s second album, replaces English music for lute with the wire-strung orpharion to give a delicate, almost ethereal sound to the already much-adored late Tudor repertoire. Among these tunes are works for cittern by Holborne, Allison and Robinson. This album features three 4-course citterns: chromatic, diatonic and tenor.

Bazimakoo, DF’s third and final album, focuses on the lesser-known, light-hearted and entertaining side of Henry Purcell and his Restoration contemporaries.
