Description Sheer beauty. That's that's the reaction most people have to first hearing the music of Turlough O'Carolan. Neither classical nor folk, but an irresistible blend of both, the magnificent melodies composed by this itinerant harper in late 17th- and early 18th-century Ireland range from the relatively simple to the harmonically complex. Their staying power through three centuries is truly remarkable, a testament to their timeless appeal not just to Irish audiences, who see Carolan as their country's first national composer, but increasingly to a world audience savoring different cultures in different periods. This outstanding Narada album, featuring some of the world's finest musicians playing 18 of the most memorable compositions attributed to Carolan, demonstrates that he did not leave Irish music where he found it. His genius took it to new heights and hearts. Please seed! Sharing Widget |
