The nation’s favorite violinist, Nicola Benedetti, celebrates a huge year for Scotland with an album of its most famous and best loved music, featuring songs such as Loch Lomond, My Love is Like a Red Red Rose and more. The album also includes collaborations with leading Scottish folk musicians including well-known folk singer Julie Fowlis whose voice can be heard on the Disney/Pixar hit film, Brave, along with Bruch’s much loved Scottish Fantasy.
„The inclusion of Bruch's 'Scottish Fantasy' which uses traditional tunes, including those of Robert Burns, neatly links to three Burns songs arranged for violin and orchestra. The Scottish folk music that ends the album includes some of Scotland's most esteemed folk musicians including the singer Julie Fowlis . . . Benedetti joins in the ensemble with real gusto and feeling for the music. The music of Benedetti's homeland is clearly close to her heart and performed with sensitivity throughout this refreshing album.“ (John Suchet, Classic FM, London)
„. . . [with this] deeply personal album Benedetti explores the music of her native Scotland, combining the traditions of both classical and folk music . . . This is a thoughtful and imaginative selection of music, lovingly and impeccably performed, that will delight Nicola Benedetti's legion of fans.“ (New Classics)
