Good potential lost in the wash........2005-06-14

The idea of recording direct-to-disc with no EQ and compression might sound like a great idea in theory, but in a case like this, where you have music that gets very soft in a big, ambient room that is recorded with too much ambience and too little presence, the sound can diminish to the point of nothingness. Since most of the pieces on this CD tend towards soft moodiness, you're left with a CD that is hard to enjoy unless you can be in a quiet setting with the stereo really cranked. Ted Alan Worth and the Girard College Skinner organ make a good combination, and the performance is certainly fine, at least what you can hear of it.

Great solo disc.......2007-02-28

This solo disk is a perfect example of what a solo disk for bagpipes should be. There are many great disks, and this one by Burt Mitchell is a fine addition. This disk has everything. Burt's personal touch on the tunes makes it all the better. The recording quality is great too...the subtleties of grace notes and drone sounds are picked up with audible precision.
