Review:
A little disappointing
I expected to like
this far more than I actually did. I’m very keen on both the lute
and on Celtic folk music, but although this disc is OK, it doesn’t
do all that much for me. I find it hard to put my finger on the
problem, but I think it’s a combination of what seem to me to be
slightly pedestrian arrangements and a style of playing which doesn’t
quite bring this wonderful music to life. I’m afraid I’m not
musician enough to be more precise than that, but I do know that
compared, say, to the two wonderful Celtic Viol discs by Jordi Savall
and Andrew Lawrence-King this sounds rather ordinary.
I’m sorry to be
critical of a good idea. This may just be a personal response so do
try a few samples for yourself, but for me The Celtic Lute was a bit
of a disappointment.
