Play On

Christian Century,  June 14, 2005  by Louis R. Carlozo

Play On, by Celtic Fiddle Festival (Green Linnet Records). Celtic.

This album takes its title from a tragedy that almost tore the group apart; fiddler Johnny Cunningham died unexpectedly, leaving a void in the quartet's lineup. Enter Quebec musician Andre Brunet and an inspired shift in the group's live sound. The result is this rich collection that leads off with a trio of foot-stomping Quebecois tunes. On another musical continent, the Yiddish cut "Itzikel" drips with delightful, Dminor mournfulness.
