A Selection From the Caird and Usher Halls CD

£10.00

First released in 2017, this CD is a compilation recording of the SFO live at two separate concerts in 2014: in The Caird Hall, Dundee; and The Usher Hall, Edinburgh.

It is an entirely instrumental selection, with solo fiddling (Yla Steven) and bagpiping (Martin Duncan) amongst the ensemble pieces featuring the orchestra (sometimes joined also by the Edradour Pitlochry and Blair Atholl Pipe Band). Among the favourites here: Highland Cathedral; a set of Shetland Reels including Willafjord; and Willie Hunter’s beautiful slow air, Leaving Lerwick Harbour.

An additional £2.00 to cover the cost of postage and packing will be added at the checkout.

This CD is also available on iTunes and Amazon Music.
