Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The music of the northwestern Spanish coastal province of Galicia consists of a persistent Celtic strain grafted onto centuries of Portuguese, Spanish, and early music influences. The local mouth-blown bagpipe is called the gaita and was made famous by Carlos Núñez. Susana Seivane is descended from generations of pipers and is also a formidable virtuoso, but she has a subtler, more reedy sound than her charismatic countryman. Her debut album was produced by Rodrigo Romani of the supergroup Milladoiro, the Galician equivalent of the Chieftains. He and other band members sit in as Seivane leads a faultlessly idiomatic team of Gallegos (Galicians) through a program of rumbas, xotas, paso dobles, muñieras (Galician jigs), marches, and alalás (slow airs). Tin whistles and flutes, squeezeboxes, fiddles, mouth harps, plucked strings, and occasional vocals by the talented Sonia Lebedynski add up to a lighthearted journey through a relatively unspoiled and picturesque musical terrain. --Christina Roden

5.0 out of 5 stars Rising Star, December 19, 2000
By Emmett Miller (Burton, WA) - See all my reviews
Susana Seivane brings so much music out of her pipes it is difficult to believe your ears. Compared to recordings by other Galician pipers or groups, Susana walks in the clouds. The arrangements are not over done in an attempt to be commercial. The tunes are traditional for the most part, but this is no ethnomusicological study either. Susana plays with incredible technique and style, but she doesn't exploit her abilities to simply show off or play wicked fast. She is quite young, and we will, I hope, be hearing a great deal more of her piping for years to come. If you like Spanish music, if you like piping, or if you like music gets your feet tapping and moves your soul, this CD is a "must have."

5.0 out of 5 stars she's a great piper!, April 5, 2001
By Gander (Mill Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This is masterful piping. Lovers of traditional Irish, Scottish, or Breton music will find this disc a delight.

BTW, the writer of Amazon's review has it completely backwards: centuries of Spanish, Portugues, and other musical influences graft on the the scion, the original stock, Galician! The only older influence hereabouts is Basque.

5.0 out of 5 stars Susana Seivane, March 1, 2001
Amazing! The music is entrancing. One is drawn to listen, dance, imagine--the bagpipes are so lively, and never crossing into flat rythym--what control! I can't wait for more from this incredible woman. I also was intrigued by references to other Gallician groups and musicians. I will be looking for them from now on. QUE BRAVA!

4.0 out of 5 stars Accomplished young Piper
Susana is a very good piper. This is a pleasant album; it's not spine tingling like Hevia, but it's well worth a listen. There's not much new from good pipers these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful Bagpipes music !!!
The first time I listened to this CD, I could not believe it; Susana Seivane's mastery of the bagpipes sent me to heaven. A must have for the discriminating collector.
