It's not difficult to imagine how this piece is so popular and this is a beautiful rendition.

[14chouston]

How beautiful!

[zurcher]

Breathtakingly beautiful! The highlight is when the second flautist joins in. Very moving.

[MartitaPMG]

Belíssimo!!!

Very beautifull!!!!!!! I heard alot of Irish, Scottish and Celtic tunes in my life but this is amazing!!!

[rufus566]

Good version, a little academic sounding but good. It is nice to see Austrians play a Scots tune (made famous by Scots/Irish Canadians) in a concert in Austria.

wooden recorders have to be one of the most beautiful sounds on earth

im am a distant relative of Niel Gow, this is the first time ive come across someone in my family tree who has the same sort of musical ablities, its great to know where it all came from and who i have to thank :)

Thanks for this great post. Neil Gow is my great, great, great, great, great Grandfather, and I was able to show this to my 90 year old Great Aunt on Christmas day, and she she remembered her grand father Robert Packer playing this song on the fiddle at family parties when she was a little girl. Thank you for keeping this music alive! x

Would be curious to know more about the recorder.

Probably not a Ganassi (some holes would be larger), but a nice sound !

[ffrodllis]

@AlainNaigeon

It´s a Ganassi recorder in F made by Monika Musch

[AlainNaigeon]

Thank you! Beautiful sound :-)
