5.0 out of 5 stars The best Pipe and Drum Band recording I've yet found, April 20, 1999

By A Customer

The 48th Highlanders of Canada are one of the most accomplished bands in the world, and their recordings show it. This is a must have for anyone interested in the great highland pipe bands. A practical "who's who" of traditional pieces played perfectly and recorded as well as can be hoped. As a student of the pipes I can also vouch for this cd's effectiveness as a learning tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like live pipe bands, you'll LOVE this CD!, June 30, 2000

By	C. Holcomb (Upstate NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Speaking as one who haunts highland games all over the east coast of the US, and whose blood thrills to the skirl of the pipes, thump of the bass drum and precise rattle of the snare drums, I can honestly say that, in my opinion, this CD is as close to being at a live band performance as you can get. With a perfect balance of sound, so no one instrument overpowers the others, and a very nice selection of songs, presented by arguably one of the best pipe bands in North America, this is definitely a must-have for lovers of pipe bands. Put this in your CD player, close your eyes, and tear into a plate of steaming haggis with HP sauce, and you'd swear you were at the games!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Traditional Music and then Some., November 4, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

I have owned this recording for quite some time. As a member of a pipe band I am well aware of what well played pipes should sound like. This recording is one I recomend to people who are buying pipe recordings for the first time. Contained on this disc are all the "classic" band tunes played by dedicated preformers, and played well. The balance between the drum settings and the piping is well thought out and equally well preformed. I recommend this album as having one of the best recordings I have heard of "Amazing Grace". This is a wonderful addition to the music library of anyone interested in bagpipe/celtic music.
