Culture Break: Peter Maxwell Davies/Duccio Ceccanti: Two Fiddlers (Dances)

Another one I couldn't find a live performance video of. It's one of the albums that snuck into my library somehow, of music by Peter Maxwell Davies (who before this was known to me primarily as a conductor), performed by Duccio Ceccanti. It's an intriguing album -- a wide range of styles, from "adapted traditional" to out-and-out contemporary avant-garde.
