Aedín marks the 27th birthday of RTÉ lyric fm today with highlights from three live music sessions recorded with Brazilian guitarist Plínio Fernandez, Irish Bouzouki player Macdara Ó Faoláin and the wonderful violin and piano duo; Aoife Ni Bhríain and Cormac McCarthy. Staying with birthdays, French violinist Renaud Capuçon turned fifty earlier this year, and to mark this significant birthday he released his recording of Bach’s Sonatas & Partitas, a set of six works for solo violin which will also feature. On vocals today, Niall McCabe, John Spillane, Joni Mitchell and Aretha Franklin.
