Turlough O'Carolan | Planxty Irwin | Anna Kowalska - renaissance guitar | www.luteduo.com

[@jamesbell7220]

I have been looping your Planxty Irwin for quite more than an hour. I am listening even now as I write. My ear is so thoroughly accustomed to O'Carolan and so much else of traditional Irish music that survived Cromwell as popularized in its exuberant renaissance beginning in the late 1950s by such as Christy Moor, Dónonal Lunny, PJ Curtis, Arty McGlynn, Nollaig Casey, Alec Finn, Paddy Moloney, Seán Potts, Matt Molloy, among other legends in their own time. And now, after an hour and more of your Planxty Irwin, a dawning emerges of what you have done. I believe you hear what O'Carolan heard in his own time on his harp. I believe you hear what the Irwin household heard as this genius of melody - unique, sublime, festive, melancholy, elegant - traveled amongst the households of his many patrons. Indeed, such is what you and Anton have illuminated for us in your understanding of the Baroque. Brilliant!!!

Charming, sublime and played with such a light touch. A perfect setting for the Ren guitar.

[@nicholasanderson4438]

Is the tablature available? I was playing my Ren guitar on the ferry to where I work when your post appeared. It would be a delightful addition. ♥️

[@LUTEDUO]

Dear ren.guitar collegue... i'm afraid i can't help you with the tab, as i haven't written it down

[@jamesbell7220]

WOW!!! Anna!!! I have not heard it played that beautifully in every way. There are many ways to find different beauty in O'Carolan. Yet there is something you hear in Planxty Irwin - and I believe in O'Carolan moreover - that very, very, very few also hear. More, please?

[@LUTEDUO]

Thank you so much, dear James! More is already on the way 🙃💋

Beautiful performance 🥰 O'Carolan started my first jorney into irish music over 1 year ago. He wrote so many beautiful tunes and his last one before he died "Farewell to music" is still such a touching piece to me.

[@SilvioNobre]

A delicacy that touches the soul with love. Thank you very much! 💖

[@keysofthekingdomholybible]

I love this so much! One of my favourites of yours. Thank you, Anna. God bless for your holy music.

[@Lute1697]

[@alexb3401]

You are wonderful! Thank you.

[@piewoman4]

How beautiful! ❤

[@Alun49]

Carolan wrote some superb music will still sits at the centre of Irish music. This is a wonderful rendition of this classic piece. It seems well suited to the baroque guitar, which has its own harp like qualities. I first got into Irish music some fifty years ago, and it still has an impact on me. Thanks for this!
