Favorite Irish Flute Album (CD)

[whistleman922]

I'd have to say that McGoldrick's Morning Rory is my favorite all time for straight flute. His playing is completely imaculate. It's techniquely flawless and his music flows like a river. others would include Flook's Flatfish album and Brian Finnegan's solo album. i could listen to just those three for the rest of my life and i'd be happy=)

Well, there are so many good flute CDs around now it's very hard to pick just one.

Anything by Catherine McEvoy or Marcas O Murchu is in my list.

Some of my newer discoveries which I would definitely recommend are:
- John Blake, playing on 'The Humours of Highgate' and 'Traditional Irish Music from London'
- Peadar O'Loughlin on 'The Thing Itself'

BUT, perhaps my most favourite recent CD is James Carty 'Upon my Soul'.

I would definitely recommend any - in fact, all - of these!

cheers!

Another vote for Conal O Grada and Josie McDermott. Great old-time pulsing honking playing that blows all the quasi-pop neo-Irish stuff out of the water.

But all-time fav has got to be Heathery Breeze by the Man Himself.

"The Maple Leaf" with Jimmy Noonan.

The Maple Leaf is my all time favorite. The groove on this CD is awesome!!!!!

Obviously there are some others that go as the great ones but most already know who they are

Lately, any combination of Catherine McEvoy, John McEvoy, and John Wynne.

All-time favorite? That's really hard. . . . ask me tomorrow.

Who has a copy of O Bhéal go Béal by Marcas O Murchú?

I can't find a way to buy it digitally and shipping to the US from the UK is practically equal to cost of the album.

Bah!

In case people are reading this thread to get ideas for albums to listen to, here are a couple more great ones that no one has mentioned yet (in no particular order).

- Peter Horan and Fred Finn's album
- Paddy Carty solo record and the record with Conor Tully
- PJ Crotty and James Cullinane
- Matt Molloy and Sean Keane
- Matt Molloy and Tommy Peoples

There are some many great albums out there. It's good to listen to as much music as you can.

Yeah, but take a look at his shipping price for 1 cd:

"Because the business is home-based, we use Priority Mail for shipping (except for overseas orders) and insure all packages. This means that the minimum shipping & handling charge is $7.50 (reflecting a recent increase in USPS rates) for the first item or items with a total insured value no greater than $50..."
