CLANNAD: LIVE AT CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, DUBLIN Sizzle Reel

Описание: In a career spanning four decades, Clannad have made music that entwines the traditional and the modern, the past and the future, with stunningly beautiful results. With their haunting songs, mesmerizing vocals, and captivating sound the group has sold over fifteen million records worldwide. Clannad has also won many prestigious awards over the years, including Billboard's "World Song of the Year" in 1992, a Grammy for "Best New Age Album" in 1999, and they have also been the recipients of not one, but two "Lifetime Achievement Awards" at home in Ireland.

The acclaimed Irish group consists of siblings Moya, Ciaran and Pol Brennan along with their twin uncles Noel and Padraig Duggan. In weaving their unique and timeless sound, Clannad drew from the various strands of music which surrounded them as they grew up in the remote northwest coast of Ireland. During the '70s, they recorded six traditional albums, each of which helped to shape and refine the band's now unmistakable sound. Their young sister Enya Brennan joined the band on keyboards for two of those albums before leaving to pursue her own highly successful solo career.

It is indeed fascinating to consider that what today is so widely regarded as Celtic music was first called "Clannad music."

There is perhaps no greater testament to the impact of this groundbreaking group than that. It all begins with Clannad.
