Our Take

Irish fiddler Lynda O'Connor joins forces with the talented Anamus and conductor David Brophy on their latest collaboration, The Irish Seasons: Ailbhe Mcdonagh / Antonio Vivaldi. This album is a whirlwind of traditional Irish melodies and classical Vivaldi compositions that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for a pint of Guinness.

The opening track, "Spring," sets the tone for the album with its lively fiddle tunes and vibrant orchestration. O'Connor's virtuosic playing is on full display as she effortlessly weaves in and out of Vivaldi's intricate melodies. The combination of Anamus' lush strings and Brophy's dynamic conducting creates a truly enchanting listening experience.

As we move into "Summer," the album takes a more introspective turn, with O'Connor exploring the depths of Vivaldi's compositions with grace and maturity. The interplay between the fiddle and the orchestra is nothing short of mesmerizing, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both captivating and emotive.

"Autumn" and "Winter" bring the album to a climactic finish, with O'Connor and company pulling out all the stops to deliver a finale that is as exhilarating as it is satisfying. The energy and passion that radiates from every note is infectious, leaving you with a sense of euphoria that will linger long after the music has faded.

Overall, The Irish Seasons is a triumph of collaboration and creativity, showcasing the best of Irish and classical music in a way that is both innovative and timeless. O'Connor, Anamus, and Brophy have truly outdone themselves with this album, and I can't wait to see where their musical journey takes them next.
