CAROLAN'S GIFT is a tribute to one of history's most celebrated Irish harpists, Turlough O'Carolan. Combining the pastoral beauty of Irish folk music with the elegance of classical music from the Baroque period, the 17th century musician created some of Celtic music's most beloved tunes, many of which are still often performed to this day. Featuring Sue Richards, Robin Bullock, Karen Ashbrook, Maggie Sansone, Al Petteway and the Ceoltoiri Celtic Ensemble, this set of timeless compositions is a treasure for any fan of classic Irish music. Includes "Miss Murphy," "Sidh Beag Sidh Mor," "Mable Kelly," "The Two William Davises" and many more.
