Music reviews of Salute From Stirling Castle
Music Review: "That Thin Red Line Tipped with Steel"
Rating: 5 Stars
This is one of the recent recordings by the pipes and drums of the 1st battalion the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. (Princess Louises) The Argylls have toured the USA many times over the years and therefor should not be strangers to lovers of good army pipe music. This CD, the last to my knowledge recorded under the auspices of pipe major Jim Motherwell,the Queens piper, presents a colorful collection of regimental and popular pop tunes. Some of the tunes are very demanding, and a little modern for my taste. I would prefer it if the regimental pipe bands stuck to the more traditional fare and let the civilian bands do all their competitional stuff. Still, the Argylls show that they can do it as good as the civies can! The "Drummers Salute" is an interesting amalgam of old and new Scottish drumming techniques. There is a nice selection of tunes here, played in a variety of arrangments. Some of these tunes were featured in recent tours of the USA, and have been recorded here in fuller versions, mixed with other selections. It would have been nice if the Argylls still had their regimental band, one of the famous in the British army. Some combined selections and marches would have provided some depth, and added to the sound of the pipes. But since there are no more regimental bands in the british army, the Argylls have to get on without them. A pity, the combined musical resources of the Scottish regiments is what made them so special in the past. The regimental band of the Argylls was famed for having the great Kenneth J. Alford, Britains march king, who directed the band during WW1 and wrote that famous march, "Colonel Bogey". Still, the Argylls must soldier on without their band, and the pipes and drums here amply demonstrate that they can. If you are looking for a good selection of regimental piping, played by a fine army pipe band, then this CD should do it for you. Its a little short, only 45 mins, but thats just about the right amount of time for heavy-duty pipe music! From Balaclava to Aden,from Lucknow to Korea, that thin red line tipped with steel!
