Alan Stivell, renowed harp player, released a wealth of albums, most of them what you might call traditional or conventional. But that doesn't tell too much, isn't it? Legions of bands and artists have one or more "traditionals" on their albums, without revealing who is the author. This is a fine 1993 package of 17 of those traditionals but in a modern setting, more towards pop or if you like rock. Although there are also some beautiful ballads (among them "The Foggy Dew", sung by Shane McGowan of "The Pokes" fame). Stivell sings and plays the most of instruments, of course electric and acoustics harps but also a wild array of pipes and flutes, keyboards, dulcimer, percussion etc. Plenty of guest musicians are also present, among whom Kate Bush, Dan Ar Braz, Davy Spillane. It is very nice music to listen to, very tasty performed, without being too traditional. There are also fine instrumentals. Some songs are really stunning. Once heard, never to forget.
