Description:

At the end of the 17th century, Ireland lost the war against England. The aristocrats who had protected the foundations of the culture were exterminated or forced to flee the country, and it is said that Irish music lost its defenders and its traditions were cut off. Musicians did not die easily, however, as Scottish and Irish music became popular in London from time to time in the 18th century, and the melodies of legendary composers were published in sheet music. The best person to reproduce this music was, of course, an old-time instrumentalist skilled in reviving 18th century music with the instruments and techniques of the time. ...... From the world of French old-time music, where many young musicians are emerging with a natural musical sense and a high aptitude for folk music, the keyboard player Jean Rondeau's group "Nevermind" is a good example of this. The album is a blend of carefully researched and outstanding musicianship, and is a superb album of Irish old-time music.The Lazarevich disc (Alpha234), an anthology of Irish music with similar old instruments, is also popular, and this new Irish disc is highly anticipated.
