Sometimes wrongly dismissed as a land only of ancient folk tunes and soggy ballads, Ireland is surprising many with the resurgence of a host of talented composers and performers in the contemporary music arena. Six composers represented here show the amazing variety and diversity of recent compositions. Mezzo-soprano Aylish Kerrigan is famed for her one-woman shows and performance of both contemporary Irish music and also German theatre music, she is particularly active in the world of contemporary art-song, as demonstrated here with her longstanding partner Dearbhla Collins.
