...As I finish off this review, the final cut of 'The Hut on Staffin Island/The Barrowburn Reel/The High Reel' is playing. I can hear Fraser's fiddle as it plays off Haas' cello -- note after note full of energy comes from both of them as the music dances along. Without a doubt, any lover of Celtic music in which (blissfully) there's naught but stringed instruments will love Fire and Grace. And if you haven't encountered the music that Alasdair Fraser makes, this is a fine, very fine, introduction to it!
