Perfect State

Melodic, rhythmic, contemporary and accessible – these are just some of the words that capture the beauty of Ciarán Farrell's music.

PERFECT STATE reveals the full depth and creativity of Ciarán's music from the pulsing string melodies in the title track, to the magical guitar and sax playing of Craig Ogden and Gerard McChrystal on The Shannon Suite a composition which the BBC Complete Guide to Classical Music described as mesmeric.

As the first full recording of Ciarán Farrell's music PERFECT STATE features a wealth of Irish and international talent including: the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, conducted by David Brophy, The Smith Quartet, Craig Ogden – guitar, Gerard McChrystal - soprano saxophone, Sinead Farrell – flute and Roger Moffat – vibraphone.

Her voice was described by the Irish Times as "poetry, perfection and purity". She was also a featured soloist on Anuna's first two CDs and toured the world with Riverdance for some five years as their lead vocalist before embarking on her own solo career.
