Performance with 3 members of Altan, NCH, Dublin
On 4th July 2014 David performed a rousing lunchtime recital in the John Field Room of the National Concert Hall, Dublin, his third appearance there in the past year. The momentum of the programme was furiously set with Beethoven’s Sonata opus 57 (“Appassionata”) and then, being Independence Day in America, one of the highlights of the programme was his sparkling performace of “L’Union” by American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk. This piece was written during the Civil War, and includes 3 U.S. national anthems: The Star-Spangled Banner; Hail, Columbia; and Yankee Doodle.
