about

The Celtic Cello is the outstanding debut album from the renowned Switzerland-based, Irish-born cellist, conductor and composer Clíodhna Ní Aodáin. Combining the traditional melodies of Ireland and Scotland with harmonies that speak of a more classical heritage, The Celtic Cello brings together 12 pieces that all have stories to tell – stories of love, separation, nature and the cycle of life.

Clíodhna’s first solo recording comes as the natural next step in what has already been an extremely successful career in classical and chamber music; having studied cello in her home city of Dublin and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester before completing a Master’s degree at the University of Montreal, she then moved to Switzerland where for the last 20 years she has become recognised as a cellist, conductor, composer and teacher.

The Celtic Cello is a collection of traditional Irish and Scottish airs that reach back into those nations’ histories and people. Such pieces as ‘Carrickfergus’ and ‘Down by the Salley Gardens’ are melodies familiar to many from the island of Ireland, while ‘Milking Croon’ and ‘The Parting Glass’ add an important Scottish flavour to the album.

The Celtic Cello is for lovers of Celtic music and for those seeking a calming, tranquil collection of cello airs.

“Clíodhna Ní Aodáin is an amazing cellist and composer. Her new Album is a wonderful creation. I highly recommend this music.” - David Darling, Grammy Award-winning cellist and composer
