5.0 out of 5 stars Very unusual and very good, June 15, 2000

I played this as background music at my annual Christmas dinner for friends and it got lots of comments from people who generally would say nothing about music. It is extremely beautiful and so unusual to hear our favorite Christmas songs played on the pipes. I highly recommend this to anyone but especially to those who like something unusal played on the Bagpipes.

This is a great, quirky little CD. The very idea of Christmas carols on the Highland Pipes is bizarre, but Iain Mac Harg manages to pull it off very well. Each song starts with the familiar drone, and then a spritely little carol appears. The songs are quick paced and fun, with a few traditional pieces thrown in for balance. If you like Christmas carols, and you like Bagpipes, then I highly recommend this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas from the Isles, December 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Highland Christmas (Audio CD)

On a fluke, I ran a search here on Amazon.com for a CD with "Christmas bagpipes", and this selection, "Highland Christmas", was the first returned match. After listening to the samples, I decided to order it. I have listened to it all the way through only once since it arrived in the mail today, but I'm going to have a hard time getting my other Christmas CDs back in the stereo! This CD is great! I cannot put into words what a great holiday disc this is. As another reviewer mentioned, if you like bagpipes, and you're a big Christmas fan, this disc is for you. Don't waste any more time - get yours!
