Amazingly talented as a fiddler,
composer and arranger, Hanneke
Cassel has crafted a stunning
debut album that displays her
broad palette of fiddle styles--Scottish,
jazz, Texas old-time and more. Featuring
wistful, flowing waltzes, exciting
reels and a fine supporting cast
(including fiddler Laura Risk,
who produced the album, guitarist
Tony McManus, cellist Rushad
Eggleston et al)
"...exuberant and rhythmic,
somehow both wild and innocent, delivered
with captivating melodic clarity
and an irresistible playfulness." -
The Boston Globe
"A great debut album by one
of the most talented and fun-loving
young fiddlers you could ever hope
to meet! This is fiddle music played
with great stylistic integrity and
personal flair." - Alasdair
Fraser
"tremendously expressive, beautifully
executed, with a wonderful sense
of line and dynamics." -
Matt Glaser
Lissa's singing and fiddling are
ably abetted by some of New England's
best Celtic and contradance musicians
on guitar, piano, bass, bodhran,
and mandolin. The cd highlights
Lissa's lively and poignant original
songs and Celtic-inspired melodies.
"Lissa has the sound of Celtic
fiddle in her hands, in her head,
and in her heart." -- Darol
Anger
"A knockout! Lissa's fiddling
is artful, skillful, inventive and
full of feeling." -- Jay Ungar
"Lissa blows out the cobwebs
in no uncertain fashion" --
