The first is a trio recording,
Par un beau soir: Chansons Traditionelle, featuring Sylvain along with Catherine Piron-Paira and Georges Haibach. The three of them wield a truly impressive array of instruments, including accordion,
basse aux pieds,
nyckelharpa, dulcimer,
epinette, psaltry, various whistle-type instruments, and
objets sonores (sound objects). On top of it all are their three voices weaving genuinely delicate melodies and harmonies. All but one of the songs are traditional or ancient, and the one remaining song is Sylvain's own minor-key mazurka,
Le chemin.
