The
Early Recordings of Angus Chisholm
Legendary Performaces of Traditional Scottish Fiddling
Fiddlestream Digital Reissues FDR0001
In
1978, Shanachie’s Records released this tribute to the
great Cape Breton fiddler Angus Chisholm – a compilation
of his cherished 78RPM recordings. The much admired innovator
cut these classic discs at the dawn of the recording era in Cape
Breton and copies remained in private circulation for over 50
years. Today, the medleys are standards throughout the Cape Breton
repertoire. The 78s were carefully remastered for the Shanachie
reissue, and released on LP and cassette format. This high resolution
Digital Reissue further accentuates Angus Chisholm's exquisite
tone, articulate bowing and stunning dynamics.
