''The Fiddle Collection'' is a studio album with tracks from various fiddlers released in 1999 produced by Phil Beer.〔http://www.philbeer.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=2&Itemid=3〕 It is subtitled ''Volume One'' but there were no more follow-ups. The album was promoted with the tagline "''This really is modern folk music.''"〔http://www.thefiddlecollection.co.uk/〕 It was the ninth release on the Hands on Music label which Beer co-founded, and has been considered a precursor to the acclaimed ''Feast of Fiddles'' compilation series.〔https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/records/thefiddlecollection_1.html〕 "The Falmouth Packet", featured on this album by Phil Beer, would later be re-recorded by Beer with Steve Knightley for Show of Hands's 2006 album ''Witness''. The album was re-released in late 2001 at the same time as when ''"Ridgeriders" In Concert'' was released.〔http://www.dvdsource.co.uk/cd_13076381〕 In February 2011, it was announced Phil Beer had remastered ''The Fiddle Collection'' and hoped to re-release it by the summer, however, as of September 2015, this release has not occurred.〔http://www.philbeer.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=63:phil-beer-january-newsletter&catid=1:diary&Itemid=1〕 ==Reception== The Ledge said of the album "If you only buy one more CD this year this should be it… the carefully considered running order has the whole thing hanging together like few compilation albums do… sheer quality and an absolute must for every collection",〔 and Shreds & Patches said of the album "Phil Beer is to be congratulated on this work. It is a unique collection… The tracks follow nicely after each other, the presentation is lavish, the notes copious and the photography good. A ‘wannagetit’ for fiddlers, an education for some unaware of the fiddle’s capability."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Fiddle Collection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
