Despite my godlessness, I do like various kinds of sacred music. A few weeks ago I thought it might be fun to get various versions of Amazing Grace, but very few really struck my fancy until I found this. One could make a compelling argument that the repertoire of the bagpipe begins and ends with this song, so how better to hear it than played by massed bagpipes in Moscow? Well, massed bagpipes in Edinburgh might be better, but then again the international character of this performance adds something that a purely Scottish performance might lack.
