With rock solid sound and brilliant technique through and through, Sgt. Brian Donaldson would wow you on just about any tune he played, but once you listen to his rendition of "The Vaunting" ('A Bhoilich) you know for sure that you're listening to one of the greatest players in recent history playing one of the most epic tunes in piping -when the man gets to the Crunluath a Mach variation, I nearly wrecked my car, no kidding-. After hearing this cd, my practice chanter leapt into my hands and 6 hours of practice flew like a moment. Being a slightly older cd, I'd not thought that the sound would be as good as I've heard from more recent releases, but the mastering of this (as I've found on most other Pipers of Distinction series cds) is Very quality indeed, without sounding over-produced. If you can find one, buy it; mp3s can't capture the full sound of pipes -it's simply too compressed to get the full effect! Enjoy!
