الوصف

2009 three CD set, an indispensable guide to the distinctive and immensely popular music from the Emerald Isle. From the living traditions of austere sean-nós song, rocking céilís and pub sessions to the world of stadium rock and radio-friendly Pop, Irish music has passion, wild variety and a proud sense of identity, giving it universal appeal. This collection features a fine selection of Irish favorites, traditional music and ladies of song. Disc One (Favorites) features 15 classic cuts - a cross section of some of the biggest international success stories in Irish music. Disc Two focuses on the wealth of incredible Irish female artists. Whether singing in English or Irish, the beauty of these great voices transcends their words. Disc Three concludes with a distinctive array of instrumentals and Ireland's traditional dance music - a sprinkling of classics alongside younger artists showcasing Ireland's rich heritage. Essential.
