O'Carolan's Fairy Queen is highly regarded by scholars of his work. To me its sound is more classical than Celtic. Irish folk have believed in fairies, the "good people," and O'Carolan's first composition, Shebeg Shemore, was about a battle between the little people of two hills.

You're right about the "classic" sound. Carolan was a contemporary of Vivaldi, Gemeniani, and others in the Baroque period of music. He knew these folks, played with them, drank with them. Nice interpretation and, as usual, well played.
