Ireland’s finest unite at National Concert Hall  IRELAND’S
finest musical talents celebrated 25 years of music at the National Concert
Hall — captured in an exceptional DVD and double CD.
Grammy-award winning musicians, international music stars and some of
Ireland’s most talented performers recorded the live event to celebrate
the hall’s silver jubilee.
Aptly titled Ireland’s Finest, the star-studded line-up includes
Paddy Maloney and The Chieftains, the Irish Broadway singing-sensation
Colm Wilkinson, acclaimed singer-songwriters Paul Brady, Declan O’Rourke
and Brian Kennedy along with Ireland’s flautist supreme Sir James
Galway.
Speaking at the launch of the DVD Sharon Shannon (pictured) said: “Ireland’s
Finest is a serious line-up of musicians who all performed their own audience
hits.
“The buzz and atmosphere that this show created on the night was
enthralling.
“This DVD is a great representation of Irish musical talent and
a great mix of music from the very popular to traditional and classical.”
Other artists on Ireland’s Finest include the multi-talented Galician
piper Carlos Núñez and Eurovision winner Eimear Quinn singing
The Voice.
Although this CD/DVD might not be for the purist it contains a host of
new arrangements and all artists were accompanied by the orchestra of
the National Concert Hall which was conducted by David Brophy.
It would be well-received after Christmas dinner and go well with the
brandy.
Available from the box office of the National Concert Hall on 00353 1
417 0000 or www.nch.ie and from good record outlets.
