Bonnie Rideout ~ Fiddle
A
treasure of ancient Scottish melodies unearthed by Bonnie
Rideout while in
residence at Scotland's Armadale castle on the Isle of Skye. These rare tunes
from the North Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland (from The Patrick McDonald
Collection) are performed in elegant classical style on fiddle, with piano
and guitar. Includes haunting airs, lively reels and a virtuosic lament in
the "Pibroch" Highland
bagpipe style.
