Post Description

Sophia, zeer bedankt voor de tip. 

Dit is Schotse folk zoals het hoort te zijn. Adembenemend, een vondst van de eerste orde. Geen feestmuziek, maar bedachtzaam en vol bezinning. Hier zal nog lang naar geluisterd worden in huize Mac.



Karine Polwart and pianist Dave Milligan’s Still As Your Sleeping, in a non-literal biblical sense, is metaphorically, as pure as the Euphrates River on the third day of creation. This is Scottish folk song crystal-clear river euphoria.

It’s a lovely collection of traditional songs, as well as tunes by Karine and other writers. ‘Craigie Hill’ sets the tone for the album. The tune drips with farewell tears. Karine’s voice touches The Heart of Midlothian. And DM’s piano sings with the ghostly drama of an abandoned croft. This music sort of stops time. Then, ‘Heaven’s Hounds’ is breathless beauty – with an almost gospel purity. And ‘The Path That Winds Before Us’ is the stuff of spiritual contemplation, as it expands wisdom into the quiet understanding that “one breath and then another is all we need”. It’s piano voiced profundity.
