‘Music in the Scottish Landscape’

'Music in the Scottish Landscape'

John Purser and Bonnie Rideout present thousand year old tales and tunes illustrating the connections between landscape and Gaelic music and song, with live performances, images and recordings. Included in the programme is the performance of a complete 18th-century fiddle piobaireachd and a reading of an Ossianic tale accompanied by a tune to which it used to be recited. Rideout recorded extensively for the ‘Scotland's Music' radio series: "Her exceptional control when bowing, her ornamentation and her marvellously rich double-stopped drones produce an authentically moving, almost keening, sound."
