5 out of 5 stars Alan Stivell.......2006-02-26

Alan Stivell is a performer most notable for his celtic harp, who combines the old and the new with grace and precision. He has amassed a huge knowledge of past musical idioms and translates them into modern relevance with his passionate rhythems and lyrics that sometimes border on despairing, and which are always heartfelt. My only fault is that I can't find every one of his albums; some have gone out of print. Master Serie is a collection of remixes of works he produced in the 1970s. His reworkings of previous material are as interesting as the originals. I wish more people in Americal knew of his music.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Compilation of Stivell's Early Material!.......2001-12-09

This compiliation disk emphasizes Stivell's early work (the first 4-5 albums or so from 1971-74), which is widely regarded as his best and most exciting period. The selection of songs is excellent, reflecting both his more more delicate folksy side (e.g. "Reflets", "Ys", "Suite des Montagnes") and his more rocking side ("Pop Plinn",
"Hep Brezhoneg", etc.). What makes this compilation especially notable is that it contains studio versions of "Tri Martolod", "Pop Plinn", and "The Wind of Keltia"-- which were released as singles and are unavailable on any of Stivell's 'regular' CDs. (Live versions of these tunes are available on _Live at the Olympia_, but those who want to hear the studio versions have no choice but to get this disk).

In sum, an outstanding compilation of Stivell's early 70s material. For those looking for a general overview of his whole life's career, the 2-CD compilation _Zoom_ is better... but if you're looking to check out Stivell's *best* material, the 'Master Serie' compilation is the place to start.
