Summary: Close your eyes, tilt your head up and bob your head
Comment: For many of my Celtic music selections I have specific places where they play the best -- fitness center cardio workouts, crank-it-up singing in the car, hopping around the living room dancing, meditative slide into sleep. But this CD has become my soundtrack to joyful, graceful living. It goes with beer, but it's better with wine and chocolate. It can calm anxiety. It can give you energy. It will make you smile. It makes you want to bob your head around and enjoy sunshine on your face. Who would have thought that the cello could be so hot? And that cello and fiddle could be so well matched as in Fraser and Haas?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fantastic!!
Comment: Fantastic!! Best cd I have bought in a long time. Can't stop playing it! Well worth every penny.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Love it
Comment: As noted by previous reviewers the pairing of the cello with the fiddle is lovely. It has become a favorite in our house. I bought this CD a month ago and then just by chance was able to attend the Highland, Heath, and Holler concert - bringing together Irish, Scottish, and Appalachian fiddling. If Fraser and Haas (the Heather in the above combo) come to your area - go and see the real thing. You'll have a foot stompin' good time!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Award winner
Comment: This is what it sounds like when you're at the top of your game.
Great sound engineering, arranging, and playing combine in this award winning ensemble of instrumental traditional Celtic tunes.
The energy is palpable, as if the cello and fiddle are speaking English with a UK accent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very, very addictive. But in a good way.
Comment: My wife and I recently saw Fraser and Haas perform in Olympia, WA as part of the Highland, Heath, and Holler Tour with Irish fiddler Martin Hayes and Appalachian fiddler Bruce Molsky. We bought the Fire and Grace CD at the concert. Our only problem with this recording is how addictive it is. We can't stop playing it. We play it at home. We play it in the car. We play it at work. And when we're not playing it, the 'chunes' (Alasdair's preferred pronunciation) run through our heads. This marriage of Scottish fiddle and Julliard-trained cello is exhilarating and revelatory. It's an amazing merger of Celtic and classical. We've never heard anything quite like it. Josefin's Waltz and Archibald MacDonald of Keppoch are the most achingly beautiful numbers. Sailor's Wife/Lads of Dun and Rob Roy Crosses The Minch best show how perfectly Fraser and Haas complement each other's styles. Every track on this CD is great.
