About

Chandos is pleased to present a new compilation of some of the finest orchestral music inspired by Scotland.
 
Hamish MacCunn’s melodramatic and colourfully engaging The Land of the Mountain and the Flood, with its delectably unforgettable lyrical theme, receives a superb performance in Sir Alexander Gibson’s hands. This is joined by Berlioz’s Waverley and Rob Roy – which the Penguin Guide describes Gibson and his SNO as ‘at their most dashingly dramatic’; Mendelssohn’s beguilingly romantic Hebrides Overture and Sir Malcolm Arnold’s tuneful Four Scottish Dances plus his comic and orchestral tour de force, Tam O’Shanter completes the disc.
 
This collection combines well-known and much rarer repertoire and is a unique and a highly appealing set at an excellent price.
 
Reviews from original releases:
This is music-making with plenty of character, unflagging gusto, and a forthright sensibility that beats most attempts by likewise less-than-world-class orchestras to counterfeit the poetry as well as the hullabaloo.’ Fanfare on CHAN8316
 
Gibson, understandably give a most affectionate account…both Tam O’Shanter and the Land of the Mountain and the Flood are in the demonstration bracket.’ Gramophone on CHAN8379
