This recording is too much “crowded” for my taste. There is a “study session” here in Japan at CCE branch and of the set of the months was The Kilfenora Reels. This one was specially awful to learn. There are so many instruments and TOO MANY accordions. One accordion is already enough to let a whistle/flute players confused, let alone 3! Often times what’s being played doesn’t faciliate someone who wants to learn the main melody or is trying to learn from the book.
Besides, just the hearing itself (even if you are not learning or don’t have any intention to play along) is not pleasant, it sounds closer to a “cacophony” than polyphony.
