MacCunn, Hamish

[pastoralguy]

You mean it isn't just repeated quavers?

I think it's supposed to go into third position for a moment or two...

MacCunn was a pupil of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford of course at the RCM! One of its first pupils I believe.

I think he was among the first intake at the RCM.

[Once Was 4]

And Sutherland's Law is still available on DVD, too

I used to have the Alexander Gibson version on LP, a sort of UK concept album

Some lovely horn playing on that disc with the section led by Maurice Temple, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. A Manchester lad who made his career in Scotland and was very influential both as a player and, especially, as a teacher. He was very kind and helpful to me when I had my first brush with the maestro on the disc.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I've just received the Martyn Brabbins Hyperion disc of MacCunn pieces. I was expecting it to be a case of The Land of the Mountain and the Flood with appendices, but this was far from being the case. The Dowie Dens 'o Yarrow is in the same league, and I'm saving the other item on the disc to savour later.
