This CD features finest calibres; William McCallum, Barnaby Brown, Allan MacDonald, Roddy MacLeod, William MacDonald and Robert Wallace. The seven piobaireachd included on this CD were recorded live on the evening of 30th August 1999 at the concert during Edinburgh International Festival. The concert was held in Edinburgh University's Reid Hall.
Piobaireachd devotees will find plenty here to surprise them, from Willie McCallum's stately rendition of the little-heard 'Lament for Hugh', to Allan MacDonald's fiery interpretation of 'Cill Chriosd, 'Glengarry's March'. In the two tunes from the Campbell Canntaireachd we have music which has not been heard in public for some 200 years, played by Barnaby Brown in period style on a reproduction 18th century instrument made of Scottish almond wood with horn mounts.
For those who are new to piobaireachd, this recording should serve as a useful introduction to one of Gaeldom's most enduring art forms, played by pipers who are masters of both the music and the instrument.
