Violinist Nicola Benedetti, celebrates a milestone year for Scotland with an album which is a true reflection of her native homeland. With a stunning new recording of Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy as its centrepiece, the album also includes some of Scotland’s best loved songs such as Loch Lomond, My Love is Like a Red Red Rose together with collaborations with Scotland’s most eminent folk musicians including Phil Cunningham, Aly Bain and folk singer Julie Fowlis (whose voice can be heard on the Disney/Pixar hit film, Brave).

The new album is perhaps the most personal Nicola has ever recorded, bringing together two musical traditions, classical and Scottish folk; worlds that have, for centuries, co-existed but rarely been recorded alongside one another.
