    Barnaby Brown from Scotland and Gianluca Dessì from Sardinia plunder the indigenous classical traditions of their native isles to weave a contemporary sound. “Bandre” is the vocal version of the most exciting embellishment in pibroch, and the duo Band-Re run riot with Scottish, Sardinian, Arabic, and Balkan art, challenging boundaries and intoxicating listeners with their improvisatory, in-the-moment music making. Band Re are Barnaby Brown on voice, whistles, smallpipe and triplepipe, Gianluca Dessi on guitar and Irish bouzouki.This is a lovely album which includes the John Purser Sonata - John is writer of the book 'Scotland's Music' .

    "Beautiful compositions, impeccable execution and highly intelligent arrangements - an album of great atmosphere, the power of which lies in its purity." Riccardo Tesi

    Media Reviews

    there is a strong melodic sweetness to this collection


    “Like the warm, crystal blue sea that sweeps the beach behind the album’s closing track, there is a strong melodic sweetness to this collection… musically, it is deceptively, quietly rich… an album that will stand repeated attentive listenings.” Piping Today

    Enchanting cultural blend
    Anne M.

    It was by happy accident that I chanced across this CD. Both artists are master musicians in their own areas, and they clearly love working together and sparking off each other. Their blend of instruments, cultures and eras is enchanting, presented with integrity and authority. I tried to pick out a favourite track, and, for me that is probably the Breton Air and Irish Slip Jigs, but they are all compelling in their own way. The only one with which I struggle a bit is the triple-pipe sonata, which is technically enthralling, but I just don't like it as much. Perhaps it will grow on me.
