Product Description
Autographed Edition - Celtic music with a classical twist
Between Worlds could perhaps refer to the space between the world of Classical music and Celtic folk music, both delicately explored here by a musician passionate about both. As the lyrics to the album's opening song suggests, it is the place where the sea meets the land that the title actually refers to. Coming over at times like the soundtrack to a good BBC costume drama, the instrumental pieces offer that sort of sense of the past. The title song in particular could quite easily fit the scene where Marianne Dashwood woos Colonel Brandon. Accompanying the album is an informative booklet offering a visual sense of the Celtic, basking in the mysteries of the landscape of Cornwall, which the music attempts to capture within. Sue Aston is an extraordinary violin player who takes us on a journey through one of Britain's most beautiful counties, from the fun filled Golowan celebrations of a midsummer Saturday afternoon in Penzance with Mazey Dazey, to the dramatic Storm Cat, with Mowzer the cat, again with Maria Heseltine providing the vocal, attempting to bring forth calm as the veritable tempest brews. Whilst Scenes From a Cornish Market celebrates the Cornish landscape specifically, with Sue taking three of the violin/viola parts, Thursday's Market borrows more from the secular Jewish Klezmer tradition, with an ostentatious romp featuring the violin in full flight. Most of the arrangements on BETWEEN WORLDS are classically structured at their core, but offer the subtle influence of folk music and occasionally jazz, from the pen of a composer clearly in tune with music first and genres second.

Wonderfully atmospheric and emotive music - with a distinctive "Cornish Celtic" feel. Wonderful melodies that are beautifully performed.
Sue Aston, an exceptionally talented Cornish "Maid", captures the essence of West Penwith in her magical music.
Excellent in all respects.
Very highly recommended.
