5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation, September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Piping Hot: A Celtic Bagpipe Collection (Audio CD)

If you like pipes, this is heaven. If you're luke warm about them, this ought to heat you up. If you can't stand them, you're in for an awakening!

This collection features music for different types of pipes -- Union, Highland, and small -- as well as different styles that have developed over the past 50-or-so years. Apart from historical interest, however, the album is a very worthwhile array of a sound that gets deep into your system, to places contemporary pop doesn't even know exist!

This review is from: Piping Hot: A Celtic Bagpipe Collection (Audio CD)

Like the other titles in Green Linnet's Celtophile series, this release succeeds on several levels: the music is of consistent high quality, it is generous in its playing time, and it's a terrific bargain to boot.

If you love bagpipe music, you won't want to pass on this collection, which features thirteen tracks from eleven artists--only Jerry O'Sullivan and the Tannahill Weavers are given two tracks each.

On five of the tracks, the bagpipes are featured as a solo instrument, including O'Sullivan, Matt Conolly (a live performance), Tommy Reck, and perhaps the instrument's greatest ambassador, folklorist and story teller Seamus Ennis (1919-1982). On the remaining eight tracks, the pipes are featured in a group setting or with only one or two other instruments.

There are no vocals here, so the emphasis is placed squarely on the bagpipes. This is an amazing collection. Total Running Time: 48:34 RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection, May 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Piping Hot: A Celtic Bagpipe Collection (Audio CD)

Do you like Bagpipes? Buy this CD. Do you hate bagpipes? Buy this CD anyway and become a convert! This covers the main types of pipes -- Highland and Uillean -- and even has a little something from the Small pipes too.

This is the CD that introduced me to the Tannahill Weavers, which is only one of the reasons I'm glad I found this disc!
