Cork's Greatest Records: The Dolphin’s Way by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin
The late Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin.
“There are fans of Mícheál’s work, familiar with all of his other recordings and the significance of his contributions not just to the performance of traditional music but as a composer and as an educator, who, taking into account his great achievements with the National Symphony Orchestra, go back to The Dolphin’s Way and say this was his greatest achievement.”
Whether or not it can eclipse the grace of Oileán, the majesty of Lumen or any other of the stellar achievements of the late Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, the confluence of classical, Irish traditional, and jazz influences on his 1987 album The Dolphin’s Way made it a “revelation and an inspiration to many people”, according to his long-time collaborator Professor Mel Mercier.
