Genius!.......2000-04-15

Jean Carignan demonstrates on this album that he is one of very few who can claim accomplishment across all three of these musical genres (Irish, Scottish and French Canadian). Fiddle players normally excel in one genre, and don't travel well (a generalisation, I know). In this recording, you hear Carignan's technical brilliance, as well well as his "music" (there's a difference). And he has both! Very strongly recommended to afficionados of fiddle music, of whatever type.

Sounds great to me.......1999-10-20

What fun!.......2001-02-05

The liner notes on this CD state that Hesperus chose to mix the styles of early and traditional music "for no good reason at all." The result is a mix of medieval-Renaissance music with traditional American music that is truly delightful. The three members of Hesperus play a diverse group of traditional and modern instruments and their choice of instruments on particular songs is as interesting as the choice of the songs that they blended together. The music is crisp and clear showing that the members know their music and their instruments. Dr. Tina Chancey is an expert on early music, while Scott Reiss is a graduate student studying ethnomusicology. All three members are experienced recording artists. The only (minor) drawback to this album is that Bruce Hutton, the solo vocalist, is excellent on some music, but seems a little bland on the blues tunes. Unlike more "authentic" recordings of traditional/historical music, this CD provides insight into the evolution of music and into (perhaps) into the shared motivation of musicians through time. In any case, the sheer joy contained in the music makes this CD a lot of fun!!

Cette musique est tres charmante........2003-11-16

In between his membership in Metamora and his current partnership with Paddy League, multi-instrumentalist folk master Grey Larsen teamed up with Quebecois singer-guitarist Andre Marchand to record The Orange Tree, a CD exploring the common bonds between Irish and French-Canadian music. The album is utterly charming, with Larsen's lovely performances on Irish flute, tin whistle and concertina making an excellent accompaniment to Marchand's cheerful vocals. The title track, with its vaguely medieval-sounding tune, is the standout, but every cut is emblematic of deep musical commitment and abundant skill. Also, you gotta love an album on which one performer's credits read, "Guitar, feet, vocals."

Wonderful Collaboration.......2002-05-13

This CD is a wonderful collaboration between Quebec and Ireland. Much of the instrumental repertoire of Quebec is based off of Irish and Scottish forms. This is due to their continuous proximity, first of Scottish soldiers and colonists, and later of Irish immigrants. Artists from both Ireland and Quebec have always respected and appreciated each other. Jean Carignan and Sharon Shannon are two examples that leap to mind of artists that have learnt and played tunes from the Irish and Quebec repertoires, respectively.
This wonderful connection is finally explored in this CD. Andre Marchand is currently the greatest name in Quebec music. He fronts and plays in many bands and is a great representative of his music. I know little about Grey Larsen, but he sure sounds like he's got the right touch! This CD combines traditional tunes from both cultures with originals written by both Marchand and Larsen and with Quebec folk songs. Instruments include flute, concertina, voice and guitar. The sound is gentle and playful and altogether beguiling. It is immediately accessible to anybody and I recommend it without reserve. The song Qui Me Passera le Bois is especially beautiful.

Amazing and Riviting.......2000-11-25

This CD is a great album of folk music.
