One of my alltime favorite cd's.......2007-02-13

I first purchased Deirdre of the Sorrows in March 1999. My local classical station was playing it on Saint Patrick's Day. I was completely swept away by the haunting melodies. The first track is breathtakingly beautiful. It is too bad Patrick Cassidy does not get much more noteriety here in the states, with the talented composing skills he displays.

Haunting indeed.......2001-10-15

The last reviewer called it "haunting." That it is, and I would add the term "addictive." It is partly the times, the post Sept. 11 era, but in emotional impact about life, death, fate, and tragedy (it includes no lighter moments) Deirdre ranks right up there with the end of The Ring, and there is no higher praise.

Not overbearing.......2000-08-28

Poor Deirdre! It is prophesized before her birth that Deirdre will be the catalyst for many deaths. Her story comes from the 12th-century Book of Leinster, part of the Ulster Cycle. Found in the New Age section, Patrick Cassidy's composition is classical. The music is often dirge-like. What would you expect of a score that begins with a foretelling of evil and follows the life of Dierdre through exile and slaughter? It is dark, and melodic ... and haunting.
