5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting - something you will play again and again, November 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Famine Remembrance (Audio CD)

Next to my PC at work, I keep ten or so CDs that I know I will always enjoy: the well known (Beethoven's 7th, Brahm's Deutsche Requiem, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto) and pieces that may be passed over by others (Gorecki's 3rd symphony, Martinu's 5th / 6th symphonies, Rachmaninoff's Vespers). Cassidy's work is counted in the latter, which is too bad for those who have not heard it. I have listened to it many times and continue to marvel at its melancholy and lyric themes. It is truly a modern day Requiem with Celtic overtones. If you enjoyed John Rutter's Requiem or a performance of Riverdance, this one is for you. A rare gem...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Beautiful!, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Famine Remembrance (Audio CD)

I was a member of the St. Patrick's Cathedral Choir and was thrilled to be a part of the creation of this wonderful CD. The music is so beautiful - hauntingly so. It will stay with you long after the last movement has been played. - KC

5.0 out of 5 stars Funeral March used in Tree of Life, July 14, 2011

This review is from: Famine Remembrance (Audio CD)

The composition Funeral March was featured in the film Tree of Life and demand for it is now through the roof, but it is not available for sale anywhere but on a hard copy. The song is unforgettable and stays with you, as does the film. Perhaps the producers will release a digital version of this album or at least the single quickly to capitalize on that demand, but until they do, take a listen to the sample and get it while you can.
