Alasdair Fraser – Portrait of A Scottish Fiddler (1996)

For his first album Alasdair selected some of his favourite gems among the rich fiddling repertoire of Scotland.  Many of the tunes have long been a part of the tradition, others are more recently composed.  It reveals the depth and variety of Scotland’s musical traditions as well as the virtuosity, charm and extraordinary versatility of one of its finest exponents. Portrait of a Scottish fiddler was recorded in 1984 and re-released on CD in 1996.
