Ron Gonella - Ron Gonella Plays the Fiddles of Gow, Marshall and Skinner (1982)

An intriguing concept, this: Ron Gonella plays the compositions of Niel Gow and his family on Gow's own fiddle, the compositions of William Marshal on his own fiddle, and James Scott Skinner compositions on one of the fiddles belonging to the 'Strathspey King'. The music is first class - Gonnella in his prime - and I believe this is a rather special album.
