Ailish Tynan/Iain Burnside : An Irish Songbook - Ailish Tynan (CD)

Iain Burnside and Ailish Tynan return to Signum with their second disc of Irish Songs and arrangements - this time from a range of different 20th Century composers. Although all of the sung texts stem from Irelands rich heritage of literature (including poems from W.B. Yeats, Thomas Moore and James Joyce), the composers featured have a more transatlantic feel, with works by John Cage and Samuel Barber programmed alongside others by Benjamin Britten and Herbert Hughes. This disc continues Burnside s series of recital discs with Signum in particular his 2007 disc with Ailish Tynan of Irish songs by Herbert Hughes.
