This album is like a breath of fresh air to listen to. It starts off at a great pace with "The Honeysuckle Set" and finishes on a gentle breeze with "Rev. Archie Deacon". The tracks in-between are great listening also. In fact, the whole album is a joy to listen to.
Natalie MacMaster's playing is just relentless and breathtaking. It's as if she makes the fiddle sing. Her playing is so good it's difficult not to shun it. The music and her playing make you feel great listening to it and also leaves you wanting more. It's been a regular feature in my hi-fi since I purchased it on holiday in Canada in Spring 1997.
This album has given me lots of listening pleasure. Just to press play and sit back and let the music wash over you like a tsunami. Great stuff.

This is the first Natalie MacMaster album I purchased when I was in Canada in April 1997. It is a regular feature on my hi-fi system and I have listened to it endlessly. Natalie MacMaster is one of those musicians that you can never tire of. Her music is so up-lifting and never fails to excite me whenever I listen to it.
All the tracks are superb so it's difficult to choose a favourite. If I was to choose a favourite, I would guess it would be 'Fiddle & Bow' and one more track called 'Rev. Archie Beaton'. I chose two because they are lovely and beautiful arrangements and played to perfection. This album has quality written all over it. On listening to it, there is a good mix of foot-tapping fiddle playing with slow and beautiful ballad pieces. A wonderful album.

Absolutely amazing....
19 April 2000
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Six months ago, I had never heard of Natalie MacMaster, then quite by accident, hear (and saw) the video of "In My Hands" and have since become one of her biggest fans. "No Boundaries" is the title of this CD and it could not be better named. Ms. MacMaster's fiddle playing stretches beyond the limits of "traditional" Celtic music and blends other musical disciplines into music that truly knows no boundaries...Neither is Ms. Macmaster one to hog the spotlight, even on her own CD...Bruce Guthro's beautiful song "Fiddle and Bow",which he sings, highlighted by Natalie's fiddle playing is one of the CD's high spots and don't miss Cookie Rankins vocal on "Drunken Piper" If you are a MacMaster fan,or merely someone who likes a talented musician showing the world "how its done"....don't miss this CD

Excellent Music

After downloaing the free mp3 files, I bought the CD. The music is beautiful; at times relaxing, at other times, inspiring. If you like Celtic music or just acoustic music in general give this artist a try.

Wonderful Celtic Fiddle
3 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
I have seen Natalie MacMaster perform twice, once with a "Masters of the Folk Violin" tour and recently at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon with Mary Black. MacMaster is electrifying on stage and in her recordings. "No Boundaries" features MacMaster's fiddle brilliance accompanied by a traditional band (guitar, drums, keyboard), which results in a wonderful sound. MacMaster's latest, "My Roots Are Showing," won Canada's Juneau Award (equivalent to USA's Grammy Award), but is not currently available for sale in the US. This album is absolutely wonderful, it ends much too soon.
