RAJ Records - Cat No. CD001
From the driving tension of the first set of reels to the tender passion of Neil Gow’s Lament on the last track the virtuosity of these musicians stands out both individually and together.  With a mix of solo and ensemble sets ‘The Explosive Fiddlers’ takes you through a broad range of moods and tempos that touches with delicate beauty at one moment and the urge to dance at the next is a grand all round exposition of the art of these great Scottish fiddlers.
