Reviews

‘The performances admirably match the spirit of the originals … the bell-like sound of the metal-strung harp is most distinctive, and Giles Lewin's fiddle solos are delightful. Recording and presentation are up to the company's customary high standard’ (Gramophone)

‘A real charmer, featuring exquisitely musical singing and ensemble work. Utterly beguiling’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘A fascinating collection, performed with admirable care for authenticity … a moving and modestly refined collection of Irish songs—from spirited anthems to beautiful laments—which should prove irresistible to lovers of folksong-based music. Superbly produced’ (Fanfare, USA)
