All time Classic

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2010

This is one of the all-time classics of the genre (Irish/Gaelic Folk,) anyone who has the original vinyl in good condition could sell it for a nice profit. I have been trying to buy the cd for a few years now but was put off by some of the exorbitant prices for the import. Very happy to be able to download this for such a nice price. A treasure!

I used to have this on LP but it got lost somewhere so was delighted to find it had been released on CD.

Triona Ni Dhomhnaill could sing the phone book and i would be bewitched. if you like the formative years of modern Irish music this is a good place to start.

Revised Caveat about Which Iteration of SKARA BRAE to Buy

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023

The 1971 vinyl release of SKARA BRAE (siblings Micheal, Triona, and Maighread Ni Dhomnaill, plus Daithi Sproule) on Gael Linn Records did NOT offer optimal sound quality. I own both an original issue of the LP and a CD. The latter shows two copyrights: 1971, which is presumably for the LP, and 2004, which is presumably for the CD. To my ears, there is no perceptible improvement in sound quality apart from what you'd normally expect from any CD sourced from original master tapes used for vinyl. So I have no way of knowing for certain if the CD I have is a CD reflecting any Gael-Linn remastering. And just because there is a huge jump in price for one of the listed iterations of SKAKA BRAE is no guarantee that it is the remastered CD. Yes, it's irksome that Gael Linn didn't clarify or assert provenances as well as the year for mastering and remastering so Amazon customers could make a more informed decision about what iteration to buy. That's why I gave it an overall two-star rating. Nevertheless, I'd agree that buying any iteration of SKARA BRAE is better than having no iteration at all. The album is a bona fide classic Irish traditional album of singing by three siblings and a close friend joined in memorable harmony.

Great CD!

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2010

This is a very lovely precursor to what these extremely talented musicians would grow into and what joy they continue to provide to the world to the present day. Many cuts on here are seen over again in other incarnations with other Irish trad(more/less) bands. The sisters are still singing today, with a new album due out (10/10) with Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Moya Brennan (T with the Maggies)

It has a sweet innocence about it, production-wise, very similar to the early Steeleye Span or Pentangle.

Celtic Trad Alive and Singing...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2009

Really beautiful CD - from way back in 1971, featuring siblings - Micheal O Domhnaill, his sisters - Triona and Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill, and a friend Daithi Sproule (currently in Altan).

Though they are all very young here - (the boys still at University in Dublin, and the girls - still in school) they exhibit total control of the music, yet with a real vibrancy which lifts it above anything you might expect. This CD was re-released in 1998, and has always been very highly regarded in Irish 'Trad' circles.

In subsequent years they all met with musical success - particularly Micheal who co-founded the innovative and highly charged - hugely popular BOTHY BAND, and later the band NIGHTNOISE, who produced many albums - mainly in America. Triona was also in the Bothy Band, and was also the vocalist in Nightnoise. And Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill, deservedly - became one of the most accomplished female Trad singers in Ireland today.

This CD is entirely in Gaelic, with lyrics and English translations enclosed.
The ballads are varied; many from their father's people in North West Donegal Gaeltacht. Some are ancient, some slightly more contemporary, but all highly engaging and evocative. There are no electronics here, or special effects, except the harmonic spell cast by four very able, enthusiastic, and sensitive voices, singing and playing as if that - rather than speech - was their natural mode of communication... Hear them on the sampler - see them on You Tube, and buy the CD here on Amazon!!

With its Irish language lyrics, this wouldn't be to everyone's taste. Don't let that put you off. This is a beautiful CD with the sublime voices of the O'Domhnaills, (the late) Micheal, Triona and Maighread, along with Daithi Sproule (Altan). I love it.
