Brid O'donohue - The Well Of Tradition

Br�d O'Donoghue has long been recognised as one of Ireland's finest whistle players, though she herself is very modest about her musical ability and has never sought the limelight. Paddy Canny, a wonderful fiddle player from East Clare considers Br�d the finest traditional whistle player he has heard. The music on the CD was selected for its associations with the people Br�d learned from, in that sense it's a very personal recording, here she plays the tunes learned when growing up. It is often said Irish traditional music is the music of people and places. If ever there was a CD that reflected that, this is the one. On this is a beautifully spaced recording, the humble tin whistle in the hands of this master musician becomes a wonderful instrument which can produce music of the highest caliber, uncluttered and unencumbered by accompaniment, the artistry of the musician and the beauty of the music are allowed free range.
