Russian musicians playing Irish music for Russian set-dancers is not something you see every day! We wanted to tell you our story, so the album features a painstakingly-designed 40-page illustrated booklet, revealing how Polca an Rí came to be, where the journey of playing for the sets has brought us, how we got all these wonderful tunes, and what Irish-Russian musical connections we've forged along the way. It comes in hard cover with fantastical art by Sophie Petkevich.

Includes unlimited streaming of From Sliabh Moscó to Cathair Pheadair via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Air & Reels: WILLIE’S WALTZ (Humours of Glynn) / GONE FOR HIS TEA / LADY’S CUP OF TEA

Tatyana Vasilyeva – flute
Anton Zille – fiddle
Katerina Moskovskova – harp
Evgeny Kazenkov – bouzouki
Sophie Petkevich – keyboards

Tony learned the first tune from a recording of the legendary West Clare piper Willie Clancy. It isn’t technically a “waltz,” of course – but we’ve enjoyed playing it as one at the céilís with Tanya! What Willie played was an air/set piece version of the Humours of Glynn, a great old tune also played as a jig. It might have been composed by an 18th c. gentleman piper from the south of Ireland and has certainly become associated with the pipes. Speaking of the Munster pipers, Lady’s Cup of Tea is a blast of a reel collected by Canon James Goodman, a native of Ventry, Co. Kerry, who sought to save as many of the tunes of his home province as he could. Last but not least, Gone For His Tea is a reel written by the flute player and dance master Michael Tubridy. Michael says that his bandmate, Paddy Moloney, often used this expression to describe the fate that awaited the fox at the end of the Foxchase!

I love the whole album and it’s so carefully curated! Thank you for adding the origins of the tunes. I absolutely loved the slow air,An Raibh Tu an an gCarraig and now I’m going to have to get the Star an over the Garter! I am glad to be able to listen to music from that era. My Grandaddy was a fiddle player from Donegal and though we spent every summer there I can’t remember what he played. I’m learning to play the fiddle at the age of 60 which is the hardest thing I’ve done in my li carmelg

Masterful box playing. Has some very appealing, unusual quality to it - hard to put into words... might be the Sliabh Luachra style peeping through. musicstillspeaks
