OTHER SFO TITLES

HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra fear no horizons as they continue to bring to the world Scottish music in its traditional and contemporary form. This album combines both of these aspects with an outstanding set of performances recorded in one of the world’s most beautiful sounding venues, the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.

From high drive, high energy tracks like ‘The Drummers’ and ‘The Horticulturist’ to the monumental title track ‘Highland Cathedral’ and on to the haunting and emotive ‘Echoes In The Glen’ and ‘Death Of A Queen’. This is an album to be treasured for all time.

"Highland Cathedral
by The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra
....The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra giving it laldy as they do so well, on a wide range of tracks from the nostalgically evocative to the frankly breathtaking. As an example of the latter, check out the opening track - but watch the volume or, like me, you may spill your tea (or whatever beverage you deem appropriate to accompany the fiddlers). A CD of stunning stuff, and no mistake, under the batons of John Mason MBE and Andrew McGarva, with a fair number of tracks written by John himself. By the way, "Highland Cathedral" is the second last track, and despite what I said earlier, rendered very movingly. Indeed, I can just see the massed bands at Murrayfield before Scotland thrashes the All Blacks 40-0. Yes, well: but for the foreseeable future, be content to enjoy the music, at least."(THE SCOTS MAGAZINE)
