Perhaps Brittany's most well-known Celtic artist, guitarist
Dan Ar Braz completes the trilogy of his ambitious mid-'90s undertakings.
Finisterres is another gathering of the most talented Celtic musicians performing today:
Donal Lunny,
John McSherry,
Sharon Shannon,
Noel Bridgeman, and
Carlos Nunez, with vocals from
Karen Matheson (
Capercaillie) and Elaine Morgan (
Rose Among Thorns). This recording brings together the traditional music of Ireland and Brittany in a contemporary framework in which no instrument is overlooked; harp, pipes, accordion, fiddle, and guitar are all given their due. The two additional
Ar Braz albums on Columbia France,
Heritage des Celtes and En Concert, run along similar lines.
