Not an album for everyone, ‘Clan’ is bound to positively surprise the most attentive and eclectic listeners, offering a slice of classical and Celtic flavouring, focused around the legendary Scottish tradition. It’s all delivered by the magnificent artistry of Joanna Barrett, composer and musician with a long history of enlightened recordings and notable achievements. In particular, ‘Clan’ features ten movements, written for cello and piano duo.
Alternating poignant, mellow pieces to more uplifting compositions, the record waves a tapestry of hypnotising energy, transporting the listener into an alternative universe, one where Barrett’s musical prowess is judge, jury and executioner. No need for panic: letting go is the answer; ‘Clan’ will soothe and cull every worry and lingering pain, offering a slice of escapism and comfort.
Speaking about the album, Joanna explains: “It tells the story of an ancient indigenous Scottish clan.”
