Description
Das Ensemble DÚLRA, das von der irischen Sängerin Caitríona O’Leary gegründet wurde, präsentiert das Irische Lied völlig neu: Traditionelle Techniken verbinden sich auf magische Weise mit Alter Musik, Weltmusik und zeitgenössischer Klassik. Erstaunliche Virtuosität trifft auf melodischen Purismus. DÚLRA feiert mit diesen Liedern die Freude, Begeisterung und Leidenschaft für das Leben in all seinen Formen und Ausschweifungen.
“Do not hesitate for a second! Caitríona O’Leary has one of those incredibly crystalline voices that roots you to the spot.” La Vie
“Her voice exudes beauty … The songs were frenetically celebrated by a carefree and cheerful audience. The élan of O’Leary’s impressive presence simply cannot be escaped.” Mittelbayerische Zeitung
“Seamless, ethereal sean nós voice.” The Irish Echo
DÚLRA’s debut album for Heresy features a scintillating selection of rarely heard and newly discovered Geantraí, Irish songs of joy and rapture. True to its name, Ecstasy, explores the diverse shades of happiness from exuberant full-throttle songs such as A Stór, a Stór and Spellsong to the most personal and intimate expressions of love and passion Sín Síos Suas Liom and Ceann Dubh Dílis. DÚLRA’s combination of ancient Irish mythic sounds and contemporary, early and world music fusions make Ecstasy a unique and fresh musical experience.
