Moldovan-born Montrealer Alexandru Sura is an acknowledged master of the cimbalom, that trapezoidal chordophone commonly applied in Eastern European traditional music. Sura summons up the tantalizing timbres of this underappreciated instrument when he joins the Rondo Capriccioso de Saint-Saëns orchestra for a program of Paganini’s revered “Campanella”, the third movement of his Violin Concerto No. 2, as well as some Romanian folk-music delights.
