Makes a Scot proud.......2001-07-17

The cheapest 2-disc set I have ever purchased in my life. Very good quality, awesome songs. Scotland the Brave is played at least three times in some form or another. A lot of well-known favorites: Amazing Grace, Cockney Jocks, etc. I'm actually playing some songs from the discs at my wedding. Very upbeat, traditional bagpipe and drum music.

Pipes and Drums Potporri.......2001-03-03

These two CDs are a grab-bag selection of Scottish pipe band recordings going back over the years. Most of them are civilian bands which play in the competitonal style. While I'm not a big advocate of collections like this, prefering the original recordings if possible; many of these tracks are no longer available. Others may still be out there. At least the bands are listed and the tunes they play appear to be accurate as well. This is not often done with these types of potporri collections where bands and music are often just thrown together in slip-shod fashion. The last few tracks on the 2nd CD are interesting becasue they are the massed bands, pipes and drums of the Scottish Division. These selections are no longer available commercially. Buy this collection if you are a pipe band nut and just want a lot of good pipe music by different bands.

Atmospheres: Scottish Celtic Bagpipes.......2006-05-30

I greatly enjoyed this CD. As others have observed this CD has bagpipes played along with other instruments, I don't have a problem with that. My only complaint would be that at times the pipes sound as if they are "canned."

Shadow's Word - Atmospheres: Scottish Celtic Bagpipes.......2005-08-26

If you are a fan of bagpipes then this CD is definately for you. This consists of wonderful traditional celtic songs and can sooth you instantaniously as you listen to the wonderful performance provided on this CD. This is quite a great CD and I would recommend it to very many people.

Rob Crabtree is a great piper!.......2004-02-18

This is a very relaxing CD. Rob Crabtree has done another great job at recording his piping skills. The additional insturments flow nicely with the tunes preformed. If your looking for Pipes and Drums (Pipe Band Music) this is not for you. If your looking for a flawless solo piper, Bingo, get this CD! Good set of traditional tunes, but Amazing Grace could have been left off. It's on almost every piping CD. Great ending tune "Going Home".

Not For a True Scot!.......2001-08-31

Don't buy this CD if the thought of hearing traditional bagpipe melodies accompanied by piano and guitar makes you cringe! Not much of this CD is pure pipes, or even pipes and drums for that matter. This CD might be for you, though, if you don't mind the sound of other instruments with the pipes. Some of the selections are hard to find anywhere else.

Excellent CD.........2001-05-12

VERY MOVING., VERY SCOT The Danny Boy is not the same tune as we in USA know, but done in true scot style., Very nice listening., I will order again for my Library more of Pipes/drums/marches/.,This CDhas no marches, just good listening;

Great pipes.......2007-04-05

Very well done, Amazing Grace is fantastic. All in all a fine pipes album.

Two thumbs doon.......2006-03-21

Ach! T'were pipin' music I were wantin', not ELO does "Rebel Piper". I mean, disco bagpipes? Good lord. Yes, the cheap-hotel-lounge-rock-band backups were grim indeed; the full orchestra numbers weren't much better. In fact, the only reason I didn't give this one star was because a (very) few of the selections weren't TOO bad.

Unless you want Highland/Second-rate Hollywood fusion, then avoid this gobbler at all costs.

Highland Cathedral - Pipes and Drums.......2006-03-21

I like it, up lifting, and exciting music. Dont like two of the tracks much with horns and band, but thats ok.

Yawn..........2005-04-19

The tracks that are worth listening to on this CD are done far better on their more recent CD, "Parallel Tracks." Why they bothered with arranging the Titanic theme is beyond me... Not a bad CD, but they've done better.

Nice CD.......2004-09-03

This is a very nicely done cd of the Scots Guards, playing with Military band and their Ceilidh Band. There's a good mix of music on this cd from Traditional to Movie (Braveheart, Titanic, etc). This cd has great recording quality and the pipers are together throughout the cd. I only give this cd a 4 star rating due to my own preferences for pipe music (I'm not a fan of The Castle Walls, The Rebel Piper, or Soldier, Soldier period!)

Amazing Grace.......2007-07-13

I bought this cd for a memorial service I hosted. It was exactly what I wanted and since then I have played the entire cd over and over.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-09-11

I think this set is wonderful. from my own personal point of view, there are much worse bagpipe sets out there. I know and love this type of music, but this tops all my other bagpipe CDs.
It really brings out the meaning and feel of Scottish music.
It was worth my money, and if you like this type of music, this is right for you.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-09-11

This is a truly wonderful set and should be a part of every
music collection!

Horrendus!.......2004-04-02

This album is simply awful. I was looking for some scottish vibes but I really don't want to be listening to this terible screechy music. It is painful to my ears, and I strongly recommend that you NOT buy it. Instead, If you want something irish, try LOREENA MCKENNITT. (...).

What junk.......2003-09-25

I just received this CD in a two box set and am so diappointed by it that I am returning it immediately. The first expectation I would have is that music today should at the very least be recorded in stereo, a format as old as I am. Read other neagtive reviews as well before buying this CD.

Customer Reviews:

Probably the best cd I've ever received........2007-01-16

I purchased Scotland's Great Highland Bagpipes at Christmas for my husband who is of Scottish descent and the other day he walked into the living room with this cd in hand and proclaimed that this was ". . . probably the best cd he had ever received." His father was a highlander in West Virginia and California and I took that into consideration when choosing a cd from your list. We would recommend it to anyone who loves the sound of real bagpipes and the music that they are so known for.

Missing one gem "Time will cure me".......2006-01-14

Apart from missing the best song they ever recorded (Time will cure me) it's a brilliant CD of trad Irish folk music.
Music to relax and enjoy on a Sunday afternoon or in the car on a weekend drive.

One of my desert island discs.......2004-02-09

I simply never tire of this album. I wore out my vinyl copy; now I'll wear out the CD, if that's possible. Trad Irish music just doesn't get better than this.

Erin Go Braugh!.......2002-02-11

What a brilliant collection! Sure to keep you singing and dancing with a bit 'o blarney in your heart! 5 clovers for this one!

Just the best.......2001-04-01

This CD is worthy of being in any collection of any one who likes to listen to Irish music. The fabulous instrument playing and the range and type of music Planxty have put on this album makes it a must for listening to. I have never tired of it since I bought it back in 89.

Still brilliant after all these years.......2000-10-06

I recently heard Raggle Taggle Gypsy on the radio and remembered how I loved this record when it first came out in the 70s. I still have the old vinyl record somewhere in storage (probably unplayable)and I try to listen to new music rather than buying old things again as CDs but this is one exception. It's still one of the finest collections of Irish music ever put together and has not dated at all! If anything it sounds even stronger now compared to much of the newer stuff coming out of Ireland. That segue from 'RTG' into to 'Tabhair..' is magnificent, leaves me exhilirated every time. Oh.. and I've always wanted to thank Planxty for the highest scoring Scrabble word I ever managed to make!!

"Take Time to Enjoy The Sound".......2007-01-16

This cd really added a bonus this past Christmas! With the soothing sound of bagpipes. From songs you know to original ballads. You can feel the warmth and time that was put into each song. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who enjoys bagpipes put to Christmas songs!

Highland Christmas.......2007-01-05

This CD is exactly what I expected it to be. The one thing that most surprised was the speed at which the it got to me. It arrived two days before I had even hoped for it to get to me.

Christmas from the Isles.......2003-12-03

On a fluke, I ran a search here on Amazon.com for a CD with "Christmas bagpipes", and this selection, "Highland Christmas", was the first returned match. After listening to the samples, I decided to order it. I have listened to it all the way through only once since it arrived in the mail today, but I'm going to have a hard time getting my other Christmas CDs back in the stereo! This CD is great! I cannot put into words what a great holiday disc this is. As another reviewer mentioned, if you like bagpipes, and you're a big Christmas fan, this disc is for you. Don't waste any more time - get yours!

Very unusual and very good.......2000-06-15

I played this as background music at my annual Christmas dinner for friends and it got lots of comments from people who generally would say nothing about music. It is extremely beautiful and so unusual to hear our favorite Christmas songs played on the pipes. I highly recommend this to anyone but especially to those who like something unusal played on the Bagpipes.

Christmas Bagpipes!.......2000-03-15

This is a great, quirky little CD. The very idea of Christmas carols on the Highland Pipes is bizarre, but Iain Mac Harg manages to pull it off very well. Each song starts with the familiar drone, and then a spritely little carol appears. The songs are quick paced and fun, with a few traditional pieces thrown in for balance. If you like Christmas carols, and you like Bagpipes, then I highly recommend this CD.

Here come the pipers.......2005-04-27

Just a note about the sound quality. If this were a Chicago Symphony recording, it would be nearly unbearable. But this is a pipe and drum band, and we are hearing it approach from across the field, down the street or around the corner. This is the kind of sound we hear from a distance with our guts. It excites us as it comes closer and becomes louder. It is outdoor music of the grandest order. The music my English grandmother (in her 80s) would go out on her porch to hear, always bringing her Scottish husband back to her.

The Mighty 48th of Canada.......2003-06-20

Despite what some others have said here this is actually quite a fine recording by the pipes and drums of the 48th Highlanders of Canada. This regimental pipe band remains one of the finest in North America, proof of this is the numerous tattoos it performs in. The selection of pipe music here is both popular and less known. I think a happy mix is acheived here for a change. The recording quality is actaully quite good, the drums and pipes sound well together and the ensemble affect sounds fine to me. I think sometimes people criticize things without really taking other matters into account. Overall one of the better pure pipe music recordings out there by a fine regimental pipe band.

Good selection, unimpressive recording quality.......2000-04-15

As a beginning student of bagpipes I find the large selection of songs helpful, but the quality of the recording seems flat. I've tried turning the volume way up, but then it sounds "tinny" or "sharp" (the volume is lower than for most CDs). And for those who play, the "throws" and similar embellishments are not well articulated...the band plays quite fast.

Avoid at all costs - terrible sound quality.......2000-02-26

The sound of pipes is supposed to stir the soul - not on this CD. This disc is an example of everything that can not be achieved by recording out of doors. The tones are indistinguishable - flat, flat, flat and the side drums often overwhelm the pipes.

Put it simply - the recorded rendition of Amazing Grace, always a highlight of a pipes recording, is more boring than a lullabye, and Scotland the Brave is about as thrilling as the Teacup Ride at Disneyworld.

Don't waste your money.

Canadian Bagpipes American Brass.......2003-11-11

I recently ordered and have just received the above mentioned album.
THANK YOU........
I ordered it just to have a copy of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes, but after listening to the album, I am completely blown away. It is perhaps the greatest piece of music I now own. Depending on the song, I can get lifted up, mellowed out, or layed back, again THANK YOU, for having this album. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Not a Great CD.......2003-11-07

This CD was originally longer with more titles. It seems the Altissimo! people after they acquired it from the Canadian Scottish cut out several titles and reduced the overall quality of the CD. Because of this and various other technical factors I would not recommend this CD at this inflated price.
