great album 
I really like this CD, but my favorite tune is non-flute The Lark, one of the prettiest tunes ever, IMHO

Not enough of them. What I wouldn’t give for Seamus Egan to record a traditional solo flute album with minimal backing…

You may want to look into an earlier Egan recording “Traditional Music of Ireland” which was recorded very early in his career, around 1986 I think. I haven’t listened to it in a while but I recall a fair amount of flute and whistle. I 'll have to pull it out and give another listen.

Yeah, I’ve got all of his albums. Even that first one is a little quirky. If you’re looking for actual sets of tunes, not “pieces” on “When Juniper Sleeps”, I think “A Week in January” is his best. Otherwise, the first two Solas CDs will keep you happy.
I mean, I can understand why people like Seamus and Eileen Ivers might make a more modern, experimental record. I wouldn’t do it, but I can certainly understand it. But why must they make every recording like that? For someone like Seamus Egan, who has a pretty large body of work, you can really only fill up about one CD worth of decent tracks. It’s a shame because he’s such an exceptional musician.
IIRC, “Traditional Music of Ireland” has something like 4-5 tracks that are “plain” flute/whistle.
I agree that you probably get a better sample of his playing on the first two Solas albums.
thanks folks , i bought the whole album , sounds good at first listen
While we’re on the subject, could someone with a real copy of “Traditional Music of Ireland” tell me if the liner notes say anything about “Aggie’s Waltz”? Mine came from emusic.com and I can’t find anything about this tune online. 
“There is a definite traditional influence in this waltz from French Newfoundland. We learned it from the playing of Ron Fromanger, a fiddle player from Newfoundland.”
Thank you.
