Does anyone know if the new 4 CD series "The Set" edited by William Hammond is similar, or possibly a re-packaging of, the 6 tape Na Piobair Uilleann "Music for The Sets" recordings from the late 1980's?
All of the advertising I've seen for "The Set" lists the contents by dance name (not tune), and there appears to be a lot of overlap with "Music for the Sets". The listing of musicians is also virtually identical.
I'd really appreciate it if someone who is familiar with both sets of recordings could let me know if all, most, or some of the tracks are actually the same. Also, if they are the same, are they actually identical recordings, or more recent recordings of the same music by the same musicians?
