I loved the sound of the stone moving. How was it made ?

But it works quite well, I don't see any 'cultural' conflict there.

Same here !

Again same here. But I'll wait giving comments on this until I've
heard the CD which should arrive in my physical mailbox soon after
I return from Greece.

As to close miking: after all this is chamber music - i don't mind
having the players quite close. One of the things that I heard 
recently (on Italian radio) was one of the Bach cello suites, the
one that start out with an octave chord. This also was miked very
close, and the resulting sound just sent the quivers down my spine.

Again same here :-) If ever you are near to Parma I won't hesitate
to load my car with some fancy recording gear and have a go at it.
