Twenty-six classic Irish songs and ballads sung by renown tenor James Griffett (Pro Cantione Antiqua). Griffett gives his all in these stellar performances. Includes: The Rose of Tralee; Macushla; The Ploughman’s Whistle; Jenny; Mother Macree; The Irish Lover (Derry Air); and the Last Rose of Summer.
“It takes a voice of great resource to encompass such a variety of songs and James Griffett's has many qualities… incisiveness is combined with much agility… and he can project words with great clarity. He also often produces a beautiful hushed tone. There is much to enjoy... in “(London)derry Air”… The record should give much pleasure for the intelligence he brings to each interpretation, the variety... [and] the very fine accompaniments.” (Gramophone)
