FolkWorld's best CDs 2001
The
Readers' Choice
FolkWorld asked its readers for their favourite three CDs of 2001. The result
of FolkWorld's Readers Poll is that it is not that clear which CDs have been
the definite best of 2001 - hundreds of different CDs from all over Europe and
beyond were named. To some surprise, plenty of the entries named a Belgian CD
released on an own label - Gunter Bauweraerts' "Midwinter"-CD made
No. 2! It seems that FolkWorld has really very much a specialist readership!
Below you find the 10 most voted CDs, plus the five follow-ups. There seems
to be still a trend towards Belgian folk music...
