SKELLIG by
​The McDonagh Sisters

SKELLIG

The McDonagh Sisters' SKELLIG album, cello & piano.

The SKELLIG album takes its name from a piece commissioned especially for this recording. Since the focus of the album was to present a balanced set of compositions by female and male composers, Orla asked Ailbhe – a composer for Boosey & Hawkes - to write a piece for The McDonagh Sisters that represented their collaborative years together as sisters and musicians.

"Top Album Picks of 2020" - The Irish Examiner. 

​​SKELLIG signifies aspects of that epic journey, echoed through the iconic SKELLIG Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Ireland. Includes Shostakovich Sonata, Debussy Sonata, Nadia Boulanger 3 Pieces, Fanny Mendelssohn Capriccio, Mendelssohn Song Without Words and McDonagh Skellig.
