Directed by Robert Shaw
Sometimes sprightly, sometimes pensive, but always graceful, these Irish traditionals are given a refined treatment by the Robert Shaw Chorale. The Alice Parker arrangements are simple, merely fleshing out the melodies, but the full, resonant tone of this famous classical ensemble lends elegance as well. A mixed chorale, but soloists are featured on some tracks, as suggested by the text. Styles have changed since 1968, when this was originally released, but songs such as "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and 'The Parting Glass" have a timeless flavor. With some Irish harp accompaniment. |
