Review

There is a saying that it takes seven years of learning, seven years of practice and seven years of playing to become a uilleann piper. Seamus Ennis must have studied diligently during his 21-year apprenticeship because he is one of the pipe's true masters. The Wandering Minstrel presents a collection of jigs, reels, hornpipes, and airs--traditional Irish music played in the ancient manner, without accompaniment. Too often solo performance degenerates into a display of technical prowess at the expense of the music. Ennis, however, never lets his ability on the pipes overpower the music. Storyteller, tune collector, linguist, radio producer, and folklorist, Ennis is most fondly remembered as an uilleann piper of rare distinction, a standing that's illustrated with The Wandering Minstrel. -- Michael Simmons
