Album Recommendations for Pipe Music, Pls.
I'm looking for recommendations as to CDs [or in other album formats] of pipe music [and/or performances of pipe bands, "pipes and drums"]. I have two CDs, both by the 1st Battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, one titled "Glengarried Men", the other "Salute from Stirling Castle".
If possible, please break out your recommendations into categories:
1. Ceol beg: marches, strathspeys, reels, jigs, etc.
2. Ceol mor: piobaireachd, laments, etc.
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer. Regards...
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
