Either of these two instrumentalists would be a fine solo act ; together they were a treat , playing bluegrass , Irish , and classical tunes as well as some penned by Chris ( he , being from Watford , claimed that since Maire was Irish his job was to bring in the Celtic music from the various subdivisions of Elsewhere ) . And yet , what happens , you chase that down , and the further and further you chase that , the next thing you're playing jazz music and rock music - you've left the Irish music behind . When a winner is declared , when one painted six-yearold stands pouting in front of the crowd , feather plumes sprouting from her head like a dancer in a French music hall , who has actually won ? Above all I think people need to be reminded that classical music , like all great music , should hurt , should make you laugh , should give chills . Recently featured artists include Denyce Graves , mezzo-soprano opera star ; Eugenia Zukerman , flutist ; Eileen Ivers , Celtic fiddler ; Doc Severinsen and his Big Band ; Itzak Perlman , violinist ; Christopher Parkening , guitarist and the early music vocal ensemble , Anonymous 4 .
