About

This album draws inspiration from the vibrant theatre scene in Dublin during the 18th century, exploring connections between Italian and Irish musicians in the Smock Alley neighbourhood.

At its heart is a set of cello duos by the Italian composer Tommaso Giordani (1730-1806). This was a starting point for the bass-heavy sound-world we have been exploring; expanding the rich sound of two cellos by adding the gritty warmth of double bass, percussion, and earthy Irish flute.

Irlandiani:
- Carina Drury (Baroque cello)
- Poppy Walshaw (Baroque cello)
- John-Henry Baker (violone, percussion)
- Nathaniel mander (harpsichord)
- Eimear McGeown (Irich flute)
