For Violin and Electronics – Volume II

‘this sequel to that first well-crafted 2017 collection, Morgan has pivoted, interpreting some well-known collaborators from outside of the new music community—Morgan traces gorgeous melodic shapes that seem to drift in and out of the electronic clouds’
The Best Classical Music on Bandcamp, July 2025 by Peter Margasak

‘Morgan’s playing is peak elegance’
Irish Times July 2025

‘new music wizard‘
The Strad Sept 25

‘what the album really demonstrates is Morgan’s versatility and technical brilliance throughout the nine recordings… This genre fluidity has been a hallmark of Morgan’s career and this release gives a further portrait of the leading Irish violinist of his generation’
Journal of Music August 2025

‘It is a rare, stupendous, and overwhelmingly promising feat when the first track of an album brings you to tears. It is nonetheless a feat that Darragh Morgan’s new release For Violin and Electronics II has achieved for me on this swelteringly warm June evening…. Morgan’s confident, verve-filled performance is a true bedrock and constant.’
Interlude June 2025

‘Violin is a site of adventure for Darragh Morgan. The Irish violinist performs compositions that unite the instrument’s sweet acoustic timbre with electronics, enhancing and warping its sound… Morgan presents a vision of the breadth of composition for violin and electronics’
The Quietus July 2025
