Burgess was a kind of
Jascha Heifetz of the Scots pipes, a child prodigy who by 15 had won the Gold Medal for pibroch -- the heart of ceol moir, the esoteric classical music of the Scots pipes. This extremely welcome CD, drawn from
Burgess's first two '70s LPs for Topic Records, contains superb examples of both ceol moir and the rich heritage of reels, strathspeys and other dance forms.
