Album Notes & Community Reviews

Breton harpist and cultural ambassador Alan Stivell crafted a massive, deeply conceptual suite exploring pan-Celtic mythology and spirituality. 'Symphonie celtique: Tir na nog' blends traditional acoustic instruments with expansive progressive rock structures and grand choral arrangements. The ambitious cross-cultural opus represents the conceptual pinnacle of Stivell's visionary folk fusions.
