Includes notes by Robin Williamson. Personnel: Robin Williamson (vocals). Recording information: Albany Productions, Cardiff, Wales. Subtitled "Tales For the Rising Year," this is the second of a two-volume offering in which Robin Williamson recounts old tales drawn from his Celtic heritage. He plays a variety of instruments to underscore and embellish the stories at various junctures. "The Dialogue of the Two Sages" begins with Williams speaking in a heavy brogue. The piece then breaks into near-song at the introduction of a harp, dissolving back into speech at its exit. On three of the stories the musical settings gently set a suitable stage for the spoken text to float over. The 17-minute tale "The Birth of Lugh" is derived from medieval literature, and has taken on a variety of forms over the centuries. It is still told throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
