Aside from being a member of the Irish-American supergroup Solas, Winifred Horan has performed with Cherish the Ladies and the Sharon Shannon Band. She is an All-Ireland champion fiddler and step-dancer. Even so, given her classical training, American upbringing, and especially, her restless creativity, it is not surprising that her first solo project would draw upon a rich assortment of influences. As a violinist, Horan has long since achieved a clear but dusky tone, and her flawless fingering and song-like bowing are set off here by intricate semi-acoustic settings. She wrote most of the tunes, but the set also has two pieces by Solas bandmate and journeyman composer Seamus Egan. Horan's own works owe more to French bal musette, manouche jazz, and Fellini soundtracks than to the Irish countryside. Ultimately, though, she is revealed as that rare roots player who can also make intelligent, personal music outside the traditional arena. --Christina Roden

Great Listening.......2007-01-23
The Kingston Symphony Orchestra (Kingston, Ontario) may not be the NY Philharmonic, but they do a very creditable job of providing wonderful music for easy listening. I was particularly delighted to find orchestral arrangements of these wonderful tunes. I am very glad that I purchased this album and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of music.
Fun Disney.......2007-01-10
I enjoyed this album and found it useful to choreograph dances for my students.
Somewhat sub-standard production quality, but excellent tunes and arrangements.......2005-09-01
The Kingston Symphony Orchestra might not be the very best ensemble in the world (and it shows on this recording), but the lasting power and beauty of the songs on this album and some of the new and lovely arrangements of them are worth the listen. There are some definite technical and musical flaws as far as the recording and ensemble go, but the music and how it's arranged makes up for it.
Three stars for some soaring moments, due to classic tunes and arrangements.
My main beef: Where's The Little Mermaid?? Why discount one of the most beautiful Disney scores ever written?
Crap!.......2005-08-09
What a scam! Terrible arrangements played by a third rate ensemble, called the Kingston Symphony Orchestra, that sounds more like a bad high school orchestra playing in a gym. Don't waste your money on this dog.

Customer Reviews:
Great compilation.......2002-05-10
I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.
A disappointment.......2001-12-15
There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Aside from being a member of the Irish-American supergroup Solas, Winifred Horan has performed with Cherish the Ladies and the Sharon Shannon Band. She is an All-Ireland champion fiddler and step-dancer. Even so, given her classical training, American upbringing, and especially, her restless creativity, it is not surprising that her first solo project would draw upon a rich assortment of influences. As a violinist, Horan has long since achieved a clear but dusky tone, and her flawless fingering and song-like bowing are set off here by intricate semi-acoustic settings. She wrote most of the tunes, but the set also has two pieces by Solas bandmate and journeyman composer Seamus Egan. Horan's own works owe more to French bal musette, manouche jazz, and Fellini soundtracks than to the Irish countryside. Ultimately, though, she is revealed as that rare roots player who can also make intelligent, personal music outside the traditional arena. --Christina Roden
Customer Reviews:
Just one Winnie!.......2007-05-14
This debut album from Solas's ace fiddler,Winnie Horan, is a joy to listen to. There is a real mix of mood styles from the openeing track 'The Princess and the Frog' to the ultimate offering 'Albatross' (NOT the Fleetwood Mac classic)People will no doubt be used to Winnie's powerful interpretation of Irish jigs, reels and airs. This is a softer, but no less impressive, set of tunes that demonstrates a musical sensitivity and sense of fun. It's great to HEAR a musician really enjoying making music. An essential for every lover of fiddle music and those who would love to be.
Draighneain.......2007-02-08
I purchased Winifred Horan's solo debut album 'Just One Wish' after hearing tracks on AccuRadio and listening to the album 'tasters' on Amazon.com. Sure it is not traditional Irish music but her fiddle playing is superb and I am not a big fan of 'pure' Irish music anyway. My favourite tracks on the album are both of the airs: 'Just One Wish' and 'Albatross'.
Winifred Horan from Solas is solo!.......2007-01-13
I love Solas and I love Winifred Horan, and I finally bought her latest solo album, Just One Wish. The tunes are powerful - I love the first track, 'The Princess and the Frog' as a uniquely slow reel whose rhythms dig deep inside. Another track of reels goes from sounding deeply sinister to beautifully light-hearted - this transition is gorgeous.
I'm not a huge fan of the waltzes that pepper this album, but they have their place. They just make me look forward to the reels and jigs that much more :-)
CD with a punch.......2005-10-11
I have never heard of Winifred Horan. I took a chance and bought the CD after reviewing the songs. This was a winner of a buy. Horan gives the best blend of notes and passion that make this one of my favorite CD's. It's clear and crisp type of sound that few artist have been able to achieve. This is a sleeper CD that I think should sky rocket to the top of the charts. I had several friends over placed her CD in my out changer about mid way. After her album comes on and a couple of songs play, everyone is asking about the CD.
Just One Wish...More Winifred Horan CDs!.......2003-10-28
Win is, quite simply, the finest fiddle player that I've ever heard and this disc is a tremendous showcase for her talent. In fact, I find it more consistently satisfying than my favorite Solas discs. I left this CD in my player for almost a month after first hearing it. My little Boston Terrier seems to really love it too! Get this disc. You will not be disappointed!
