Synopsis

Product Description

Équinoxe is the 5th album from the Celtic Fiddle Festival - another exciting collection of truly international fiddle music featuring the collective and individual talents of acclaimed fiddlers Kevin Burke, Christian Lemaitre and André Brunet representing respectively the music of Ireland, Brittany and Quebec. These three fiddlers have played in bands that have been in the forefront of Celtic Music for decades - Kornog, La Bottine Souriante, Patrick Steet, The Bothy Band - so it's a special treat to hear them combining their regional styles to form such an exhilarating fiddling trio. Beautifully sympathetic accompaniment is supplied by Ged Foley who also contributes the wonderfully lyrical 'Sir Sydney Smith's March' as a solo guitar piece.

CD Reviews

Beautiful trans-Atlantic Celtic fiddling

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 03/28/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is the fifth album by the Celtic supergroup-powerhouse, Celtic Fiddle Festival, featuring the combined talents of three fiddlers -- Kevin Burke, Christian Lemaitre and Andre Brunet -- and one guitarist, Ged Foley, in as fine a set of Celtic instrumentals as ever you shall hear.

Foley, also known for his work with the House Band, Battlefield Band and Patrick Street, anchors each tune with a lively, inventive style that is both supportive and restless, the sort of playing that can both fade into the background or leap out at you in the middle of a song and and make you realize, oh my goodness, is he really doing all that tricky stuff, too? Same with the fiddling: these are immensely accomplished musicians drawing on Breton, Irish and Canadian traditions, weaving it all together in a mix of tones and styles. There are keening, aggressive jigs alongside silken, melodic passages, all of it quite dazzling. If you like Celtic instrumentals, you'll love this album. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Music Reviews)"
