SMITHERS is a thank-you album recorded for a certain special town – Smithers, BC, in the Pacific Northwest. I have taught and mentored intensively in Smithers over the past seven years. This is a thank you album for a time of inspiration, friendship, and shared growth. I wrote a tune for each of the young people I taught up there – 59 tunes in total – and recorded them with a talented young pianist from Smithers – Emilyn Stam.
This double CD of Fiddle and Piano contains many delightful moments and harks back to trad music, even if it contains lots of Oliver moments
NEW! From Camino fiddler Oliver Schroer,
a lush album of Hymns and more….
HYMNS AND HERS is the brand new album from Oliver Schroer – a lush and gorgeous collection of tunes both uplifting and introspective. Hymns and Hers is linked to the previous Camino CD in its deep emotion and spiritual feeling but the sound is quite different. It is not a solo CD but a plush ensemble project, with production values harkening back to Schroer’s earlier work on CD’s like Jigzup. Schroer collaborates with some of the Toronto’s finest musicians – friends old and new – to create the album sound. Sure to become a favourite.
Recorded on location in churches in France and Spain,
Camino is the musical and photographic record of
Oliver’s thousand km walk along the Camino
de Santiago. Haunting solo violin and a sumptuous
28 page booklet with lots of great photos and text
A treasure chest of original musical gems –
some solo, some rich and orchestral, all of them
shining with the heart, humour and freshness that
are the hallmark of Oliver’s work.
This very personal album is a musical travelogue
of an extended trip – a bit Swedish, a bit
Turkish, music about stories, and stories about
music. Solo violin with special guests.
With this transcendental and evocative album of
solo unaccompanied violin, Oliver launched a whole
new idiom - a soulful intersection of Bach partitas,
swampy bayou blues and traditional Norwegian fiddling.
A fun grab-bag of original compositions –
a charming mix of snappy, lyrical, traditional
and world/pop influenced music. (Warning: the
only thing Celtic about this album is its name!)
This action packed world music adventure from Oliver’s
big band runs the gamut from new chamber folk to
wild Balkan madness. Lots of percussion, lots of
horns - a rich musical feast.
Oliver's first CD of original tunes draws heavily
from more Celtic/traditional aspects of inspiration.
Unusual & spirited arrangements that push the
envelope but deeply respect tradition.
This wild sister album of JIGZUP is an ambitious
and far-reaching journey featuring many musical
guests, novel orchestrations, odd-metered explorations
and filmic soundscapes.
SOME
OF THE CDS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED BY SOLITUDES:
“Celtic
Dance” is a collection of ripping jigs and
reel sets, featuring Oliver on fiddle joined by Pat O’Gorman
on flute, Co. Sligo’s Brian Taheny on banjo and cittern,
as well as Newf percussionist/pianist Bill Brennan. “The
Voice of the Celtic Heart” is an album of
beautiful and unusual traditional songs with Co. Antrim
singer Kate Crossan.
“Lakeside
Retreat” An album of tranquility, a
collection of little anthems of simplicity.
“Seaside
Retreat” A continuation of that theme. I
was really happy with the way these two turned out.
