Bruch to Scotland

bruchBruch's VIOLIN CONCERTO No. 1 features a snowy Loch Lomond area, followed by a little wintry ski-ing on the Cairngorms. A spring thaw leads to summery conditions with a stormy Glen Coe, views from Ledaig near Oban, on to the Isle of Skye (including Cuillin views and a visit to the Old Man of Storr) before returning to the mainland near Oban and Glen Coe once more. The final movement mainly visits the Newtonmore Highland Games.

The Scottish Fantasy begins with a few historical sites including cemeteries and ruins, then visits the far north (Durness coastline) ending at Beauly. Another movement crosses from the west coast near Ullapool down and across to Braemar and the east.

The final movement shows an open air Ceilidh at Grantown on Spey, a woodfest in Anagach Woods, views along the Spey valley to Ballindallock Castle, Brodie Castle, Elgin and the Moray Firth.
