"Subtle instrumentals, dreamy vocals, West and Stewart pipes/clarsach combo Hinterlands is a lovely rich new sound for the two ancient instruments"
Fiona Ritchie, The Thistle and Shamrock, NPR Radio."…a thoughtful, unusual album of tunes and songs that explore disparate musical idioms - and continents - in original and refreshing ways. West has a warm way with a song… …while Stewart gives us a new melodic setting of Burns' 'Ae Fond Kiss' and relishes the harmonic possibilities of his 'Slave's Lament'. The instrumental work is everywhere excellent."
Norman Chalmers, Scotland on Sunday."…magisterial echoes… …Highland pipes and harp sounding eloquently together."
The Scotsman."Hinterlands by Wendy Stewart and Gary West is the sort of album where the artists are as arresting as the content."
The Scots Magazine."Their long standing musical association has produced a mutual understanding that is clearly audible throughout this exquisitely-crafted collection of traditional Scottish music. As individual soloists Wendy and Gary are world class, but as a duet they achieve a rapport that one doesn't find every day. This is Scottish music at its wistful, elegant best - performed with real gravitas and emotional power."
Paul Matheson, Froots Magazine.
