A re-issue of Cranitch's 1984 album of slow airs, accompanied by his sister Brid on piano. Splendid stuff and a welcome antidote to the overly-arranged, overly flashy and overly fast playing encountered all too often these days. (My own humble opinion, of course!) Gael Linn, CEFCD 104.

Ah yes, this is a cracker.
Just the way airs should be played.
A real education.
Can't recommend it enough to anyone who wants to know how to play these lovely tunes properly, so that the 'TUNE' shines through, and not all that bl**dy fancy ornamentation stuff.
