In The Time Of-Edel Sullivan
In The Time Of-Edel Sullivan
"In The Time Of", the debut solo album from highly-respected Cork fiddle player Edel Sullivan, is an intoxicating blend of new and old music; showcasing Edel's expressive virtuoso playing style, underpinned by tasteful arrangements featuring leading fellow exponents.Recorded, mixed and co-produced by Donncha Moynihan, who also contributes some fine guitar playing, the album also features Brid Dunne (piano), Ilse deZiah (cello), Brian Hanlon (guitar/bodhran), Aideen Curtin (flute), Edel Mc Laughlin (piano accordion), Christy Leahy (box) and Barry O' Donavan (guitar). Described by Irish Examiner and Evening Echo music writer Paul Dromey as "an exquisite, compelling and authoritative CD... if a finer album of traditional music has been released this year, I haven't heard it".
"Edel Sullivan's 'In the Time Of' should be sipped not gulped. Like a fine wine or whisky, her music often spreads its effects subtly but surely and leaves a palate-pleasing aftertaste. 'In the Time Of' is a rarity to be championed." Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo, New York (13/12/06)
