Toni Iordache

Toni Iordache

Toni Iordache (1942-1987) was one of the most famous Romanian ţambal (a.k.a. cimbalom) players. He began learning the instrument from his father when he was four. Later he toured many countries in Europe and throughout the world as a member of the 'Ciocârlia' folk music ensemble (Ciocârlia is Romanian for lark and is also the name of a famous virtuoso piece where the violinist imitates the call of the lark and other birds).

Toni Iordache also worked with the well-known pan flute ( _ro. nai) player Gheorghe Zamfir, but he is perhaps best known for his recordings as a soloist. In addition to an impeccable technical mastery of the cimbalom, he is also highly regarded for the musicality and beauty of his interpretations.
