Two new CD releases from Maggie's Music are a "must" for dedicated fans of celtic music in general, and the Maggie Sanson/Ensemble Galilei in particular. With a total running time of 55 minutes and 56 seconds, Music In The Great Hall ($12.00) showcases superbly performed and technically flawless recordings of Irish airs from the Bunting and O'Carolan Collections, as well as jigs and reels from the Isle of Mann and 15th-century Welsh tunes. Employing impressive instrumental combinations as the dulcimer, recorders, a Celtic harp, and hand drums, Ancient Noels ($12.00) offers up an an unblemished collection of just under an hour's worth of carols, medieval cantigas and Renaissance dances that celebrate Christmas and the Christmas season. Devotees of Irish instrumental and vocal music are encouraged to send for a complete listing of all the outstanding CD recordings which are available directly from Maggie's Music at maggie@maggiesmusic.com
