The combination of Pielok’s expert violin with Falcone’s self-taught accordion and vocals brings energy full of both whimsy and depth. Falcone’s voice, joyful accordion and classic Italian hand gestures bring the party, while Pielok’s violin is soulful and at times heart-wrenching. Falcone said La Tosca has “a mission to keep alive the life stories of the protagonists of these timeless melodies.”
