Regarding Bonnie's Pibroch playing:
"...Simply stunning musicianship." - NEW YORK TIMES "... she performs with staggering intensity. The music was a complete revelation to me. The first track, McDougall's Gathering, makes the viola sound like I've never heard it. The instrument speaks with a massive, mythic power....... " - Tom Service - THE GUARDIAN, UK "...Spectacular display of fiddling artistry..." - WASHINGTON POST "...stellar fiddling from an elegant master..." - BILLBOARD "...the pibroch is a tour de force for Rideout, who cannily summons the sound of the Great Highland bagpipe with only bow and strings."" - WASHINGTON POST "Well worth waiting 200 years for." - THE SCOTS MAGAZINE "Rideout's fiddle playing is at the pinnacle of the piobaireachd art...an optimistic return!" - THE SCOTSMAN |
