Alasdair Fraser - Fire and Grace (CD)

Scottish fiddle master Alasdair Fraser links bows with vibrant young cellist Natalie Haas in an exciting weave of rocking, reeling rhythms, poignant melodies and exquisite musicianship. The duo has created a buzz among Celtic music lovers at festivals & concerts across the United States and Europe. "Fraser, one of the most respected of all exponents of the Scots fiddle, would look long and hard to find a more appropriate cellist as a partner. Haas can switch just as effortlessly as Fraser from a gentle singing tone to driving, dancing melody... all played with that combination of driving bow work and musical sensitivity that we have come to expect from Fraser. A positive joy." - the Scotsman.
