Niall Matheson is an outstanding piper from Inverness in the Highlands. As a double gold medallist he has established himself as one of our foremost pibroch players, as well as being a noted exponent of the lighter music of the ceòl beag tradition. Here we have a wide-ranging and imaginative selection of airs, marches, strathspeys, reels and jigs, many self-penned, as well as a performance of the 18th century pibroch The Lament for Mary MacLeod. This is unadulterated Highland pipe music, and an impressive debut from a gifted musician. In all he includes 20 original and highly melodic compositions, and these will go a long way to sealing his reputation as an accomplished tunesmith, as well as a talented performer.
