Music reviews of Idir an Dá Sholas (Between the Two Lights)
Music Review: family reunion
Rating: 4 Stars
Triona and Maighread pour life into these beautiful Irish songs, tastfully mixing contemporary with traditional. And what voices! Anyone who likes Clannad's early seventies music, or Altan's songs, or Aoife Ni Fhearraigh's self-titled Cd, should try this music. My only complaint is that Micheal O Domhnaill only accompanies his sisters and does not sing with them. And these three siblings have recorded together before, not only on compilations, but on the gem of an album they recorded some thirty or fourty years age: Skara Brae- a must have for any Irish music collection.
Description of Idir an Dá Sholas (Between the Two Lights)
Sisters Maighread and Triona Ní Dhomhnaill have been singing together since they were children, and they have both chosen to make performing Irish music their life's work: Maighread as a solo singer and Triona as a singer and instrumentalist with the Bothy Band, Touchstone, and Nightnoise. So it comes as a surprise to discover that the release of Idir an Dá Sholas marks the first time they have recorded together. The sisters learned most of these songs from their father Hiudai and their aunt Neili, who were well-known singers in their native Donegal. And when the two sisters join together in harmony, a sound that Maighread describes as a "miraculous collision," you can hear all the joys and sorrows of family life in their voices. In keeping with the family-gathering feeling of the songs, Maighread and Triona invited their brother Micheal, a respected musician in his own right, to back them on guitar, and their distant cousin Dónal Lunny to produce the CD and play bouzouki and bodhran. The performance of the Dhomhnaills on Idir an Dá Sholas is as good as Celtic vocal music gets. --Michael SimmonsGeneral CDs
