Cormac Breatnach is one of Ireland's finest musicians, soundly based in the tradition but not afraid to experiment with other idioms. His 'Musical Journey' has been put together with immense care and great craftsmanship, tracing his enthusiasms from schooldays onwards.
Eleven long tracks lasting 55 minutes, an esoteric mix of traditional and contemporary compositions, songs in both Irish and Spanish (reflecting his tri-lingual upbringing), and a poem written and recited by Theo Dorgan, reflecting on a theme from 'Sive', a play by John B. Keane, accompanied by a slow air by Donal Lunny composed for the original Abbey Theatre production. This will give you some idea of the breadth of Cormac's vision and the wealth of his imagination. He has collaborated with many a fine and famous guest, both in arrangement and composition - Steve Cooney, Maire Breatnach (no relation), Paul McSherry, Karen Tweed and Niall O Callanain from his Deiseal days, to name but a few.
