Amazing Grace Jun 03, 2008
An excellent product. My memory of the old vinyl disk from which it derived ("Farewell to the Greys") is that it was better, but this one is excellent all the same. Probably the bands have become so famous since the first vinyl record they have gotten a little 'stale' with thousands of performances.

 Ouch Again Nov 24, 2007
Is this really how the pipes are supposed to sound? I do like track 4 which means this recording is a little better than "Highland Cathedral". Once again though, the whole recording is badly out of tune on way too may levels. I guess it's the carinets/flutes that really rattle the fillings worst on this one though. Track three really makes one wish they had never invented woodwinds. Sadly, they are not alone. Cornet Carillon is an absolute embarassment. Is that a clarinet or is someone strangling a cat? Really hard to believe that this disaster has been in print since 1972. The only really good thing about this recording is that it is mercifully short at 34 minutes total.
The wonderful sound of bagpipes Nov 05, 2007
This is a great album of bagpipe and drum music. 'Amazing Grace' is so beautiful and heart stirring.
Great music Apr 05, 2007
The pipes, like a few other things, are something you either love or hate. If you are not a Scot, they may sound like someone is scalding cats. If you are Scot, or even partly so, they will make your blood boil. This album certanily does that. It has a mix of traditional and more upbeat music. The traditional "Amazing Grace" is fantastic and the last selection is an upbeat Caribbean rendition that is great.
