Scottish Fantasy
Album by Max Bruch & Joshua Bell & Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Scottish Fantasy is a concertante composition for violin and orchestra by German composer Max Bruch, composed in 1880. Rooted in the late Romantic tradition, it merges virtuosic violin writing with folk-inflected melodic material and expansive orchestral colouring, reflecting Bruch's interest in nationalistic and folk sources and forming part of his output for the solo violin.
