An eclectic selection of tunes played by top pipers - pipers good enough to be appointed as 'The Queen's Piper'.

As well as the expected Scottish tunes there are several Irish tunes, and versions of Verdi's Slaves Of Nabucco and Handel's Largo.

This journey takes you on a musical meander beyond Scotland and the shores of Britain. The melancholy and haunting sounds of The Wee Spree contrast with the powerful and beautiful music of Ireland - thence to France for a tribute to the fallen of two World Wars, and to Italy for a Highland version of Verdi.

Includes booklet information in English, Spanish, French and German.
