In 18th-century Scotland, the boundaries between “art” music and the “people’s” music were less distinct than today. The same musicians who performed for the lords and ladies in their castles also played in the town halls for dances. Ferintosh’s unique musical focus transcends modern distinctions between “classical” and “folk” music. Featuring Laura Risk on fiddle, Abby Newton on cello and Oshkosh, Wis., native Kim Robertson on Celtic harp, Ferintosh’s dynamic arrangements of poignant airs, high-spirited strathspeys and reels unleash both the subtle beauty and primal energy of this timeless music.
