About
The Dubhlinn Gardens: an evening in the high society of 18th century Dublin, where traditional music was ‘civilising’ itself for the salon… This programme was inspired by the passion for traditional Irish music that flautist Anna Besson has felt since she was a child. Surprising as it may seem, it was playing the Irish flute that led her to study the baroque instrument… For the past few years Reinoud Van Mechelen too has begun to train himself in the traditional Irish song with Karan Casey and other singers who have specialised in the unaccompanied Sean-nós. This twofold practice of early as well as traditional music has led the ensemble A Nocte Temporis to offer a programme that is both vivacious and extremely touching.

*** (Good Album)
Jeremie Bigorie – Classica magazine (France) – June 2019
“… Lovers of traditional music will certainly welcome this disc and enjoy the playing and singing. However, others should also investigate it as it sheds light on an aspect of musical history which for obvious reasons is not often part of concerts and recordings. One can only appreciate the efforts of Anna Besson to bring this music to the attention of a wider circle than lovers of 'folk music'. Whether the performers do any justice to this repertoire is impossible to say if one does not know anything about this kind of repertoire and about Irish culture. However, there can be no doubt about the quality of music making here. Reinoud Van Mechelen is impressive in his account of the songs. The energetic and lively playing on the various instruments is also very enjoyable.”
