What atremendous piper he was! He lives on! Every piper should have at least one of his tunes on board. I have Andy Renwick's Ferret. Will certainly learn a few of his other tunes.
As I listen, I can close my eyes and in my imagination fly through the Highlands of Scotland past the show covered peaks... Where Gordon Duncan is still playing...
amazing. as a note... the 'andy wrenicks ferret' (beginning at 1.06mins) is the full version as it was written by Gordon Duncan himself. all the others are the variations :)
Only 1 word to describe that performance,Brilliant and he makes it look so easy shame he died before i started on the pipes would have been an inspiration RIP Gordon a truly great man and King of the pipes
What a lovely guy! Gordon came down to London a few years back to give a recital for the SPSL. Wish I'd had a digital video camera then. I was later priviledged in taking Gordon to his hotel. What a great loss, now he's gone.
wow, i always loved hearing gordon, and always realized how incredible he was, but i couldn't fully appreciate it until i tried out a set of highland pipes a few days ago.
Don't think it was written back then. To the poster - thanks very much. Don't think youngsters nowadays appreciate what Gordon did with and to highland piping - the Beatles is probably the most apt comparison.
Thanks to the supplier of these video performances of a most amazing piper. Gordon Duncan is in a class by himself as a player and composer. His fingers are clear enough in this video to see that they are moving fast enough to create their own blurr!
