Grammy-nominated recording.

In 1992, Mark O’Connor created a history-making album of duets with his violin and fiddle inspirations, entitled “Heroes”. For both historical documentation and further study, there was a video camera in the recording studio during these important recordings and now fans of the violin and fiddle can see up close and in real time, what took place in the recording studio between O’Connor, Byrone Berline, Bill Monroe, Dan Crary, John Hickman and Roy Huskey Jr. Included on this film is the actual recorded takes live in the studio O’Connor and Berline fiddle duos and solos on “Gold Rush” composed by Berline and Bill Monroe who is also featured on this recording. Bonus footage never heard or seen before this film of additional takes in the studio, discarded for the final recording, but could easily have been included as both of these masters played twin fiddles and improvised back and forth to each other for most of the day. “Heroes” released in 1993 on Warner Bros. Records, was nominated for 2 Grammys and sold 200,000 CDs in its first pressing. Since then, the album has become a classic and an inspiration for violin and fiddle fans for two generations and counting.
