Scotland's great craftsman of the fiddle, Chisholm delivers exquisite tone, technique and control, shaping these slow airs and song tunes, mostly of Gaelic provenance and many self-penned. There's tasteful, minimal accompaniment from Kris Drever, Phil Cunningham and others, and even when the tempo rises, as in 'young' Angus Grant's '250 To Vigo,' the expressive, emotive, confident and securely laid-back fiddle draws you inexorably in and creates a virtual Highland landscape. This gently understated album repays repeated listening...Norman Chalmers
