Album Notes

Hanneke Cassel is the 1997 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Berklee College of Music. Her playing has been called "exuberant and rhythmic...delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness" (The Boston Globe). She has performed and taught across the U.S., Scotland, Canada, Sweden, and Austria.

Pianist Dave Wiesler has been playing traditional Scottish music for dances and concerts since 1994. At home in a wide range of styles, Dave is in demand for folk dancing of all flavors. He has played for Scottish dance nationally from Boston to Hawaii and abroad in Canada, England, and Scotland.

REVIEWS

Scottish Country Dance
author: Malcolm McConachie
                            
This is a superb collection of Scottish Country Dance tunes.  Hanneke's playing is very emotional and yet always maintaining the rhythm so necessary for dancing.  We have been using it quite a bit at our practice dances and the only drawback is that one tends to get so caught up in the beauty of the music that you forget to dance!

Great music, but a bit slow for us

I love the music on this CD, but I was a bit disappointed to find most of the tracks too slow for the old-time/contra/country dances we like to do. It's still a great CD to listen to, though. Shipping service was very fast too. Thanks!

A wonderful CD.  I especially love the final waltz, Daybreak, written by Dave for a friend's wedding.
