Max Bruch - Scottish Fantasy, Op. 46 (1880)

[@prinhana]

Amazing!!!!! Bravo to the violinist and the harpist!!!!!!!

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Despite how hard the finale sounds, the notes feel comprehensive in a way. I always found Bruch writing amazing music for the violin that felt so natural to play. This and his amazing orchestration, so much fun to listen to.

very true

[@user-ok2ii9jt3z]

Bruch was probably one of the German composers who had a special affinity for English. He once spent time teaching and conducting the English orchestra, and wrote this extremely poetic and tuneful masterpiece on the Scottish tunes. This fantasy is, in my opinion, one of the greatest orchestral works with violin accompaniments, and no inferior to the quintessential first violin concerto. Thank you very much for posting this magnificent magna opus.

I don't know what the obsession with Scotland was in the 19th century, but damn did it produce some fantastic music.

Wunderschöne und nuancierte Interpretation dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Fantasie mit seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der genialen Solovioline sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wundervoll!

I want to personally thank you for the piece you wrote included with this Masterpiece. Historical information is very important.

27:19 I don't think anyone realized but the soloist actually played the wrong notes. He was supposed to play notes going down but he played notes going up. (last measure of that line)

[@ykd5l]

Thank you so much, I don't even have words.

[@NareshNaresh-lr9nq]

[@fyrexianoff]

this video was never done before?! I use to play the piano reduction of this with a fellow violinist friends decade ago ! So much memories...

[@bartjebartmans]

Yes indeed, a friend mentioned it to me. I was a bit incredulous but it was not posted on YT with score. But if my memory serves me right it used to be up.

[@jessj8313]

@@bartjebartmans Thanks so much for posting the score. I think this is the only one on YT and it's great to finally have it.

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Just wonderful ~ THANK you! Have been fond of this Scottish Fantasy for a long time. (Reading Roger Dettmer's description is highly recommended)

[@jessj8313]

This is such an outstanding piece of work.

[@annnlonggg]

This is the first time I've ever heard of the Scottish Fantasy, and - before even reading the caption - I had this vague idea that Nicky would be the soloist. And my intuition was right... This is so good!

[@davidatakishev]

Perfectly!

[@carlosmontes6568]

II. Scherzo; Allegro.. Definitely ❤️🎼🎶🎼❤️🎶🎼❤️🎶🎼❤️🎶🎼👌🏻👌🏻

[@elmiramuradova561]

Очень понравилось,Спасибо большое. Very beaytiful ,Thank you so much.

[@LinCalc]

23:06 definitely one of my favourite parts

[@RP-rw6jj]

One of the nicest versions (played by Nicola Benedetti and musicians) of the Bruch Scottish Fantasy. Nicola's version nicer than Heifetz (although his version may have the coldest most haunting sound). Her playing is also surprisingly very, very powerful - maybe her violin is extra loud?

[@frankie6954]

In what way do you mean " Nicer than Heifetz."

[@maniceto9645]

Can you do this with the Bruckner's symphonies ? (No manuscript)

[@FreakieFan]

Not all of his symphonies are available. Only his manuscripts are available for free online.

[@wolfnorth7075]

Great scottish fantasy, do you have the solo violinist and the orchastra information? Thanks.

[@bartjebartmans]

Click on the tab "show more" and you will see a lot of info. The violinist is Nicola Benedetti with the BBC Scottish SO

[@falco830]

Fun to listen to, but not so fun to play besides the last movement.
