Description
This is a 3 CD Set of three albums which each marked a milestone in the development of Irish traditional music. With Ceoltóirí Chualann, Darach Ó Catháin and Seán Ó Sé, Seán Ó Riada embarked on a journey of discovery. There is a vibrancy and freshness to this album, Ó Riada’s inaugural release with Ceoltóirí Chualann. The playing of Ronnie Mc Shane on percussion and of Sonny Brogan on accordion is noteworthy.
Disc 1 Reacaireacht an Riadaigh: Music, song and recitations form the basis of this album.
Disc 2 Ceol na nUasal: This album features music of the aristocracy, and that of Turlough O’Carolan, in particular.
Disc 3 Ding Dong: The singing of Seán Ó Sé is to the fore on this album and Ó Riada’s arrangements are masterful. This is music for the concert hall with the emphasis on entertainment.
