Music reviews of Return to Kintail

Music Review: A complete absence of ego.
Rating: 5 Stars

The album is entirely composed of duets for fiddle or viola and guitar. Both instrumentalists share the spotlight equally, occasionally stepping to the fore or fading into the background as their arrangements demand. They play with the easy familiarity of musicians who have performed together for many years, and they share selections from the Scottish and closely related Cape Breton traditions with exceptional lightness and grace. They're not going for speed or power here -- instead, they both sit back and let the music prove itself without any unnecessary affectations or pomposity.
You'll be hard-pressed to find better versions of the tunes or an album more evocative of Scotland's rolling hills and glens.
