Ireland is not only the green island, but also the land of legends and singers. All this is reflected on the second GENUIN album by the Irish clarinetist John Finucane. The exceptional wind player brings together music from his homeland written from 1911 to the present day. Without exception, these are genuine discoveries, and not only because of the world premiere recordings and works written for John Finucane himself. Even in the most modern of times, the magic of the past is still alive, and contemporary musical language is inspired by the spirit of the Irish harpists: from Stanford to Bax, from Ferguson to Trimble, this album is an Irish blessing! John Finucane has been Principal Clarinet with Ireland's RTE National Symphony Orchestra since 1995, and has also been active as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor in Ireland and abroad. Described by Gramophone Magazine as "an outstanding virtuoso" on the release of his album 'Clarinet Variations,' he has worked with the Ulysses Ensemble, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Welsh National Opera, Opera North, and Irish Film Orchestras. He appears regularly on radio and television programs, and he has a particular affinity to chamber music, working with many groups across Europe.
