The much anticipated new CD by Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas. Following on from their award winning album "Fire & Grace", which won high praise and "Scots Trad Album of the Year" for 2004 the music on this album is highly original with most of the pieces being written by Alasdair Fraser and a wonderful new composition by Natalie Haas. Also includes performance favorite "Trip to Pakistan" by Niall Kenny. Guest artists include Hanneke Cassel, piano and Eric Rigler, pipes.
Alasdair Fraser is unquestionably one of the finest fiddle players in the world, both in performance and his tireless promotion of Scottish music. His repertoire spans the centuries of Scottish music with a willingness to push those forms in new directions.
Natalie Haas is a fine cellist who met Alasdair through his Valley of The Moon Scottish Fiddling School camps in the USA. Encouraged by Alasdair, she began to investigate the cello's potential for rhythmic accompaniment to fiddle tunes.
