Nevada City, California, USA – Culburnie Records has released Legacy Of The Scottish Fiddle, Volume 2, Tunes from the Life & Land of Robert Burns. The fiddle tunes of 18th century Edinburgh inspired the songs of Scotland’s renowned poet Robert Burns. It includes jigs, airs, marches, reels and strathpeys; tunes that Robert Burns used to flirt, dance, sob and sing.
This long-awaited second CD in Alasdair Fraser’s Legacy Of The Scottish Fiddle series includes such favorites as “A Man’s a Man,” “Scots Wha Hae,” “Killiekrankie,” and “Ca’ the Ewes,” reflecting the legacy of Robert Burns and many others who gave their songs and melodies, based in tradition, yet imbued with their own spirits, and the spirit of their times.
Alasdair Fraser is joined by Scottish dance pianist Muriel Johnstone, and cellist Natalie Haas, who is reviving the cello’s historic role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish fiddle music.
