Julie Fowlis’ Mar a Tha Mo Chridhe [“as my heart is”] is a stunning coming together of time-honored Gaelic songs. Performed in the native tongue of Gàidhlig (Scots Gaelic), Mar a Tha Mo Chridhe combines exceptional vocal work as well as extraordinary instrumentals to create a truly exquisite and charming opus of melodious art. Mar a Tha Mo Chridhe transports traditional songs into the modern age, preserving them for many generations to come. For those interested, my personal favorites are ‘Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird a’ Chuain’ and ‘A Mhaighdeannan ‘s a Mhnathan Òg’. Read more
