CELTIC
DIALOGUE

LAURA RISK, FIDDLE
JACQUELINE SCHWAB, PIANO
DOR-90264 Cover

The impulse for this recording came from David Johnson's book Scottish Fiddle Music in the 18th Century. The music in this book defies classification into modern genres; it hangs somewhere between a written art-tradition and an aural folk-tradition, somewhere between 'serious music' and pop.
…
I was extremely fortunate to be able to work with Jacqueline Schwab on this project. The piano parts in the recording are her composition, with much improvised during the recording session. Her creativity and unfailing musicality allowed us to share a vision and bring it to fulfillment. - Laura Risk
