Description:
Scottish fiddle master Aly Bain and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Ale Möller have been exploring the Nordic roots of Scottish music together for over ten years, and "Beyond the Stacks" is the second collection of tunes from this collaboration. Exquisitely recorded and performed, these mostly fiddle/mandola duets are a culmination of Bain's extensive research into the Scandinavian history behind so much of the traditional music of his native Shetland Islands, and Möller's creative arrangements. Like a conversation between two old friends, the playing here is assured, comfortable and playful. Bain's trademark lyrical tone is framed lovingly by Möller's sparkling energy. With these two seasoned virtuosos, "Beyond the Stacks" is an imminently pleasurable listening experience.
