MacMaster recorded the \"in concert\" first disc at a 2001 show with her six-piece band. The performances include medleys of dance tunes interspersed with a handful of lovely slow airs. The arrangements are both eclectic and contemporary--her version of the Italian tune \"Torna a Surriento\" segues into a reel and then into \"Flamenco Fling,\" for example--but MacMaster's deep connection to her Cape Breton roots keeps the music from straying too far from the traditional. The second disc, the \"Glencoe Dance,\" was recorded at a Cape Breton square dance in 1997 and features MacMaster backed only by piano and acoustic guitar. The tunes and arrangements are unabashedly traditional, and MacMaster creates an intoxicating rhythmic pulse that has the entire hall dancing, clapping, and whooping along with her intricate melodic fancies. Live is a rare glimpse of an expert fiddler who is creating vibrant, modern music while still keeping in touch with the traditional sounds that nurtured her. --Michael Simmons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57689335005558,"sku":"0011661704824","price":6.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_756197_1311799_jpg.jpg?v=1776344347","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0011661704824-live","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
