Clannad - Nadur - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Clannad - In Concert [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/14/2025

The collection of songs included on this very record is not meant as an anthology, even the rough one. It is no more than a tiny window letting us see the depths of the Russian soul. Although all of the songs bear a distinctive folk character they were created in towns by enlightened authors transforming traditional chant in their own way. As a result these songs were closely related to European canon and became extremely popular outside the country; the exotic phrase of the melody and the unparalleled type of emotionality have fascinated the world for over two hundred years.

Travelling back in time when Clannad was well known for their interpretations of traditional Irish folk songs. As their international breakthrough happened a few years later, on this day in January 1980 Clannad followed the roots of all their inspirations and played to an enthusiastic audience in Bremen, Germany. It was one of the last times that Clannad played that pure and simple.
