Description
“An authentic and musically profound ensemble” – Guy Traviss, Classical Guitar Magazine, London.
Deirdre Moynihan (Soprano) and Alec O’Leary (Guitar) are recognised as one of Ireland’s leading duos. They are an engaging and energetic ensemble with a unique performance style that is charming yet dynamic. Their recital programs are innovative offering audiences an exhilarating concert experience. Having sculpted their individual musical identities for many years as soloists, Deirdre and Alec came together in 2010 to perform in the picturesque city of Galway as part of the Galway Music Residency concert series. Since then they have played many high profile concerts nationally and on the international stage. They have commissioned new pieces and arranged many works for voice and guitar including traditional Irish songs, film music and more well known repertoire from Spain, Italy and beyond. Today they continue to evolve and develop their distinctive style while enjoying a busy concert schedule. The Moynihan/O’Leary musical partnership extends through the whole of this recording wherein they arranged many of the works together.
