Derek Bell : Carolan’s Favourite (CD)

Derek Bell pays tribute to the genius of Turlough O’Carolan (1670 – 1738), the great harper/composer who flourished in the dying years of Gaelic Ireland. The music of Carolan has been well documented, and Derek is joined by The Chieftains and The New Irish Chamber Orchestra in the most authoritative collection of his music available on record.
