There aren’t many voices like Moya Brennan’s. It makes sense that one of Moya’s live shows – with trademark intimacy and power – should be recorded and made available.
Heart Strings is Moya’s first ever live solo recording and features the prodigious talents of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded at the Liverpool Philarmonic Hall and in Germany in October 2007 the thirteen tracks include three classic songs from Moya’s days as the voice of Clannad, including ‘Harry’s Game’, ‘I Will Find You’ and ‘In A Lifetime’.
Drawing on Moya’s recent solo work with tracks like ‘Tapestry’ and ‘Sailing Away’ – tracks that showcase both her skill at crafting evocative moments and her prodigious band’s skilful musicianship - the live show recording underlines just why Moya is known as the First Lady of Celtic music.
With two UK tours in the pipeline – The Irish Christmas Tour in December and the Heart Strings Tour lined up for March 2009 – Moya’s live show is about to get an even greater profile boost. Heart Strings will clearly become an essential take-home from the gigs, as well as a rich, moving experience in its own right.
