Mcguinness / Concerto Caledonia - Revenge Of The Folksingers - Music CD

Another hallmark collaboration from Concerto Caledonia and guests, this time created during a week's residency in the Suffolk countryside. The traditional and original songs speak with a heart-rending clarity, and are interspersed with infectious tunes from old and new Scotland, all informed by the group's magpie diversity and by Benjamin Britten's folksong arrangements, which they found in the library in Aldeburgh. The resulting alchemy of nu-folk with an early music sensibility defies categorization.
