Description:

Recorded live in 1995-96 and now newly remastered, this is a collection of music in praise of "Scotland" by Ian Sutherland and the Glasgow City Philharmonic Orchestra. This lively performance brings together two of Glasgow's leading bagpipe players, as well as the city's choir and bagpipe band, for a performance of music that is uniquely Scottish. The program includes the well-known "Amazing Grace," Scottish folklore, Malcolm Arnold's "Scottish Dances," the scherzo from Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 "Scotland," and the theme song from a popular Scottish TV drama. This album is a great introduction to Scottish music. Naxos Japan
