      Album Details

      Donnacha Dennehy's "The Hunger" is a profound and poignant exploration of Ireland's Great Famine, blending minimalist composition with traditional Irish singing and soprano vocals. Released on Nonesuch Records in August 2019, this 45-minute docu-cantata is performed by the acclaimed ensemble Alarm Will Sound, led by Alan Pierson, with soprano Katherine Manley and sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird. The album comprises five tracks, each delving into the emotional, political, and socioeconomic devastation wrought by the famine. Dennehy's distinctive style shines through, marking a synthesis of his previous works and offering a unique auditory experience. "The Hunger" is not just a musical piece but a historical narrative brought to life through sound, making it a compelling listen for those interested in both contemporary classical music and Irish history.
