"The Quiet Glen (An Gleann Ciúin) is the latest recording by master fiddle-player Tommy Peoples from Donegal, and it serves to confirm his position as undisputed king of Irish fiddle music. He has included many of his own compositions on this album, and they are excellent - as you would expect from Tommy Peoples, combining his talent for innovation without compromising his rich traditional musical heritage - the true sign of genius, in my book. He has guitar accompaniment on the album, which is not really necessary, but having said that, it is unobtrusive and tasteful. There are not many Irish fiddle albums of this calibre around, so I recommend it strongly!"
