Definitely one for lovers of both Caledonian and string orchestra music. Great blend here of high-spirited and elegiac poignancy. Much as I feel refreshed by the lively dances, I always get lump-in-the-throat moments when I hear things like the Dirge (4:38) and the Gaelic Melody (11:42). Nicely spacious acoustic in the recording.
Beautiful!
Lovely. Always have loved orchestral music based on any folk tradition. Scottish has been a fave for decades.
16:29 -V movement

Well this post should please Max as he strathspeys his way doon tae the local for a swallae!
Aye, I'll drink a wee toast tae oor regular thumb-doon pal......if he catches this yin, that is!
The similarities between Irish and Scottish music are such that each could easily be the music of the other country with one major exception; in Ireland, we do not have Strathspeys and I really DO like a Strathspey!
That said, we can PLAY a Strathspey even if we don't have this time-step in our dances... check out The Chieftains doing a grand job on the Strathspey, 'The Dogs Among the Bushes' from 'Chieftains 8'.

Tony, there was a delay in your comment appearing, owing to it including a hyperlink (I've remedied that now). It's a month since Paddy Moloney passed away - I uploaded something of his (it's likely to ultimately be blocked by YT) : th-cam.com/video/GlTADe4sO_8/w-d-xo.html
@@RoddersClassical There seems to be a general stiffening of restrictions - is it not permitted to include a hyperlink to a video which TH-cam has already sanctioned? Let us hope that your own link is not blocked.
8:32+ cheers my slightly Scottish blood
Makes me want to do a Canadian Barn Dance
