Fantastic fusion of baroque Vivaldi's music and trad irish one. Some of Vivaldi's tunes alternate with irish jigs and reels. Whistles, Uillean pipes, fiddles and Vivaldi. I sincerely recommend!

O'Carolan

That's a great CD for sure. It's the best mixture of baroque and Irish music I've ever listen too.
On the CD booklet he gives only three O'Carolan tunes:

Mr. Bethag (??)
14

One of the tunes

Just discovered this recording by Planxty:

I. The Queen Of The Rushes, II. Paddy Fays Jig.

Track no. 9 on O'STravaganza is an exact copy if Planxty's recording of The Queen Of The Rushes.
