Hore Abbey, a ruined monastery near the Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary
“There are only two kinds of people in the world,” goes the old saying, “The Irish, and those who wish they were.”
In this hour, music celebrating the Emerald Isle--from Purcell to Beethoven, from John Field to Victor Herbert.
