Reviews

  • [Hallaig] by Stuart Macrae was not only the centrepiece but also the highlight of the evening. Clarsach, fiddle, and cello were conducted by the Inverness-born composer, while Kenneth Thomson conducted his choir and the end result was a wee bit of a triumph. Gaelic music in recent decades has fused happily with anything from headbanging techno to African drumming but this was a piece which would – and should – find its way into the mainstream classical repertoire.
