It is difficult to put into words just how good this music is and the performance here on this cd is sublime, this is as good as it gets.
You are running out of superlatives for that set Seán LOL!!
You noticed! That soft thumping noise at my elbow is my heart: I wear it on my sleeve. LOL

I LOVE Mise Éire, I always have, even as a small child it gave me goosebumps. There were very few pieces of music that I could identify with spiritually as a child, Mise Éire was one of them. It is Irish through and through.

A lovely mix of Chopin waltzes with contemporary electronic compositions (Arnalds) inspired by the former coupled to a live string quintet on a number of pieces. Interesting and quite a delicate record.
