No strangers to tragedy, the Scottish and Irish peoples produce many of the world's saddest songs. Joined by some folk fiddle players, early music ensemble Hesperus examines the earliest material from these nations on Celtic Roots. You think it is a cello, but what you actually are hearing are a bass viola and gamba as this trio applies period instrumentation for an unusual "chamber Celtic" effect. ~ Tom Schulte

Live Recording

Recorded at St. John's Episcopal Church, Elliot City, Maryland. Includes liner notes by Scott Reiss.

Hesperus: Grant Herreid (guitar, lute, theorobo, recorder); Scott Reiss (hammered dulcimer, recorder, whistle); Tina Chancey (fiddle, treble & bass viola da gambas, recorder).

Additional personnel: William Taylor (gothic "bray" harp); Bonnie Rideout (Scottish fiddle); Philippe Varlet (Irish fiddle).

Dirty Linen (8-9/99, p.75) - "...If contemporary albums use parental advisory stickers to describe its contents, such a sticker would say only one thing: incredible."
