Mackenzie Violin Concerto Pibroch Suite

This CD presents the recordings of two of Scottish late-Romantic Sir Alexander mackenzie's concerted works for violin including the Pibroch Suite of 1881. The word 'pilbroch' is taken from bagpipe music where it denotes a classical style (usually in variation form) rather than the more usual 'strathspey and reel' type of dance music associated with the instrument. The concerto dates from 1885 and was written for Sarasate.
