Rather than intervene between David F and Jack C about the merits of Fred Freeman's work I'd like to say a huge thank you to Erika Mackenzie for her review of Border Seasons - thank you Erika!
It's great when someone really gets the point of what you're trying to do - the idiom may be a kind of Chamber/Trad, but the aim is simply to reach the heart, and it's good to know that it sometimes does. The only thing I'd add to Erika's post is that, naturally enough, the live gigs had something extra that the recording doesn't capture. If there's anyone here who has input into festival planning and was touched by Erika's review, you may be interested to know that I plan to reprise the pipes and string quartet combination next year.
