Product Description
From Amazon.com
Is there a rhyme or reason to string together an Estonian waltz, a Cajun reel, and a classic French Canadian tune? There is for Scottish musicians Cunningham and Bain, who have once again joined forces for an exploration of melody and merriment on another musical gem (their previous outing was The Pearl). Shetland fiddler Bain is at his best with the slow tunes, where his expressive style shines as he strokes every note for its fullest effect--and he gets a number of songs to show off this side, especially in the Cunningham-penned "Violet Tullogh." Not that there's a dearth of danceable tunes. Their American medley "La Ronfleuse Gobel..." (The Snoring Mrs. Gobel...) offers them both a great opportunity to strut their stuff. Tastefully arranged for accordions, keyboards, and fiddles, with casual additions of bass, percussion, and whistles, this set (and the whole album) shows off the tunes themselves, allowing the masterful playing to enhance rather than dominate the melodies and rhythms. --Louis Gibson

This CD is excellent. "Sarah's Song" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, the "Flett from Flotta" medley makes you want to get up and dance, and the rest of the tracks are wonderful as well. If you ever get the chance to see Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham in concert, go- they're awesome together.

The music is excellent and was well worth searching for.The condition of the CD is 'as new' and delivery was in good time.
