Fidelio Trio BULB Darragh Morgan, violin • Robin Michael, cello Mary Dullea, piano NMC D147 The Fidelio Trio is made up of three brilliant young soloists in their own right (Darragh Morgan, Robin Michael and Mary Dullea). They all have a special enthusiasm for contemporary music and here they bring the medium of piano trio back to life and straight into the twenty-first century with these four works, three of which were specially written for the ensemble. The music on this disc is devoted to composers born and/or working in Ireland and demonstrates the diverse musical talents emerging from the island: from the classical minimalism of Kevin Volans, to the lyrical writing of Deirdre Gribbin, through experimental electronics from Ed Bennett to the urban, aggressive energy of Donnacha Dennehy. Kevin Volans’ recordings with the Kronos Quartet are still the best-ever selling string quartet CDs in history. Fidelio Trio has released a Pop Archive disc including music by Led Zeppelin and Miles Davies. Donnacha Dennehy’s disc Elastic Harmonic (released in June 2007) was NMC’s fifth best-selling title of 2007. 1. Donnacha Dennehy: Bulb     11'12 2. Ed Bennett: for Marcel Dzama     12'07 3.
