| The
Year of the French The Chieftains with the RTE Concert Orchestra |
 |
Thomas Flanagan’s ‘Year of the French’ is a best-selling novel portraying the insurrection of 1798. When RTE filmed it for TV, it was natural that The Chieftains provide the music. With the RTE Concert Orchestra, they evoke in music the events of that terrible year. Martial music mingles with the dance tunes of the ordinary folk, Irish music with that of the French, in a powerful synthesis of sound. |
