Ireland - Musical Treasures of the Emerald Isle - Ireland and its music are steeped in traditions that have survived invasions, famines, and cultural restrictions meant to curtail customary dances and the speaking of Gaelic. This collection invites you to hear pipes, flutes, mandolins and banjos come alive over the rhythmic pulse of the bodhràn. Feel the energy that drives the dancing of jigs, the stomping of feet and the widening journey of these musical styles across oceans and continents. These are the works of some of the premier artists playing Irish traditional music today, compiled in an invigorating introduction to this land's rich musical tapestry.
