Celtic Cross

In this recording, the guitar work of Richard Searles is applied to traditional music of the Celtic world: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, and Galicia. The distinctive music from each of these traditionally Gaelic-speaking peoples has been reinterpreted to provide new insight into Celtic music, while remaining faithful to its sources. The sounds of Classical Guitar join with those of Recorder, Hurdy Gurdy, Concertina, Harpsichord, Percussion, and other instruments on an imaginative journey into the heart of the Gaels.
