I don't care at all for the timbre of the low whistle, and I didn't listen past about 15 seconds because the whistle was rushing on to the next note without giving the last its full due. I hate it when that happens, it just ruins the whole experience of the tune for me, and I couldn't bear it on this one because Eleanor Plunkett is such a great piece of music *when you don't rush it.*
For me the tune doesn't work with that drawn-out* low whistle sound, thought the accompaniment was nice. The harp renderings offered by youtube had me wanting to pay the tune; that version did not.
* 'drawn-out' may be the wrong expression, I could be hearing what Will says. On harp (and guitar etc) you get the attack and then the note fades before the next notes comes with another clear start.

Very nice indeed. Three and a bit minutes might have been enough.

I seem to be in a minority. Does anyone have a preffered one they can give a link to?

Best version I've heard (multi-instrumental) - quite easy on the whistle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7yxHzYmG4I
