Boxwood Media
BOX 902 2002 The groundbreaking recording from the Chris Noman Ensemble bringing to life the tradtional music of Scotland that has long been associated with the flute; brilliant playing throughout with fantastic arrangements. “The Caledonian Flute! At long last the restoration of the flute to its proper place in the Scottish repertoire! Chris Norman is not invading, but re-occupying territory which was
the flute's all along. . . A CD that is as full of sport and entertainment as you will ever hear in Scottish music.”
-John Purser, author of Scotland’s Music " . . .Norman and his group give a contemporary edge to the music with a full rhythm section that gives the music a subtle drive without overwhelming it. It's smart and stylish, yet true to its traditional roots . . .a splendid new recording by one of the finest traditional flute players performing today" -Dirty Linen " . . .The Caledonian Flute is as good as any Celtic music album you're likely to hear. . .few of the tune are well known, but every one one of them is an aural delight." -Sing Out - Highland dances
