Customer Reviews

This not the real Gordon Highlanders
This recording has been around for a while. Whoever the group is they are not the true Gordon Highlanders. The regimental band, drums and pipes of the 1st battalion Gordon Highlanders were indeed fine bands and they recorded numerous times over the years. Sadly, the 1st battalion the Gordon Highlanders were amalgamated in 1994 with the 1st battalion the Queens Own Highlanders to form the 1st battalion The Highlanders (Seaforths, Camerons and Gordons) Such is the unfortunate reality of Britain downsizing her army. The group that performs here are certainly not the true Gordon Highlanders. They are some civilian group from somewhere, most likely the States, who have assumed the name of the Gordon Highlanders without their true talent. This CD is also cheaply made with very poor notes. The selections are also poorly done on the liner notes. This is all around a sloppy job. Buy this CD only if you are not seriously into Scottish pipes or military band music and just don't care about who plays it and what they are playing. Otherwise, chose one of the better known British army pipe bands such as the Black Watch, Scots Guards, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards etc. The real Gordon Highlanders also recorded a CD before disbandment back in 1994. It is a most excellent CD and is available on the Bandleader label.

average for a piping CD
First of all it's "piobaireachd" not "Pio Braireachd". Second it's "The Conundrum" not "The Conund Rum" I guess whoever transposed the titles for the CD sleave didn't understand this. The Cd is overall Okay but go get "Royal Scots Dragoons -- Highland Cathedral" or "Simon Fraser University pipe band -- Live from Canage Hall" if you really need to hear good piping music.

CD is a well-rounded piping compilation
This CD is quite well-rounded, and it ranks high amongst my piping CDs. The piobreachd piece is positively amazing, and it includes two excellent renditions of Miss Kirkwood and Scotland the Brave. It is an analog recording, but the tell-tale background "hiss" isn't at all apparent.
