Celtic Music Served 'Piping Hot'
Like the other titles in Green Linnet's Celtophile series, this release succeeds on several levels: the music is of consistent high quality, it is generous in its playing time, and it's a terrific bargain to boot.
If you love bagpipe music, you won't want to pass on this collection, which features thirteen tracks from eleven artists--only Jerry O'Sullivan and the Tannahill Weavers are given two tracks each.
On five of the tracks, the bagpipes are featured as a solo instrument, including O'Sullivan, Matt Conolly (a live performance), Tommy Reck, and perhaps the instrument's greatest ambassador, folklorist and story teller Seamus Ennis (1919-1982). On the remaining eight tracks, the pipes are featured in a group setting or with only one or two other instruments.
There are no vocals here, so the emphasis is placed squarely on the bagpipes. This is an amazing collection. Total Running Time: 48:34 RECOMMENDED
Uilliean Pipes at their best
I was craving for some more uiliean pipes music, but didn't want the usual mixed Chieftains or anything...thats when I found this CD in my local B&N bookstore (... :) and picked up this CD. It was almost as cheap as on here, kinda in the bargain corner of Folk.
It is though really amazing...to hear all those different songs with more or less pipes took my breath away!
I am into Irish Folk for many years now, but this was one of my most pleasant surprises! I hope they will make a 2nd edition of this with more wonderful tunes....
Little critism..sometimes the switch between very fast song and slow song was a bit off, but all in all a wonderful album esp if you crave those melodic and fast sounds of uilliean pipes (which I prefer anyday to the rather loud and warlike scotish bagpipes).
Makes you want more!
Fantastic CD! You'll want to check out the bodies of work of every artist listed in this compilation to sate your craving for MORE PIPES!!
I may be staring at the same old surroundings, but I'm SEEING the bonnie hills of Scotland! The music will take you there!
Great CD
I love the Great Highland Bagpipes, and I bought this CD thinking it would be mostly pipes. Boy, was I wrong! At first I was very disappointed, but after listening to the CD a few times, I decided I really liked it. The tracks by the Tannahill Weavers, Seamus Ennis, and Rare Air are some of my favorites. I especially like the tunes with acoustic instruments - a nice blend of pipes and other wind instruments with strings like the banjo and violin. A very nice "Celtic" cd.
Hot Hot Hot
This CD is a must for all uilleann and Highland pipe fans/players. The real player really doesn't do this CD justice! You've got to hear "Wolfstones-Clueless"....Awesome!
