Media Reviews

	There is an eloquence and intensity in this musical partnership which few others can match
	CD: Highlander's Farewell - Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas: "....There is an eloquence and intensity in this musical partnership which few others can match. Alasdair Fraser has for a long time been recognised as one of the finest exponents of the Scottish fiddle. He plays with characteristic flair and accuracy and Natalie Haas delivers tremendous power and rhythmic edge from the cello. There are also some fine guests on this album including Bruce Molsky, Martin Hayes and Denis Cahill. It is in the nature of he Scottish tradition to emphasise precision and incorporate harmony, and this album does that with consummate skill. The music is superbly arranged and presented and the beautiful sound of the instruments working together is one of the highlights of this album. ...." FiddleOn Magazine Summer/Autumn 2011

Customer Reviews

	Beautiful music Anna Cortez
	This CD is full of great music, from the beautiful "Ballad of St. Anne's Reel" (which makes you want to dance) to the haunting melody of "Danny Boy" (which makes you want to cry)! I highly recommend it for any music lover!
