Ceòl na Pìoba - Pìob Mhòr
This compilation presents live recordings made during a concert of pìobaireachd at the 1999 Edinburgh International Festival. Most of the tracks are in standard modern styles, played by Roderick MacLeod, Robert Wallace, Allan MacDonald, William MacDonald and William McCallum, but of greatest interest are two tracks played by Barnaby Brown, using a replica 18th century set of pipes and playing music taken from the oldest manuscripts of written pibroch music. Barnaby's historical style is very beautiful baroque music, quite different from the modern voice of the Scottish bagpipes.
