Interesting to hear this morning's BBC Radio's essential news programme signing off an item about the up coming Edinburgh festival. They had just finished an interview with an apparently well known violinist and she signed of the programme and I quote with 'the traditional Scottish lament Ashokan Farewell'. It was described thus twice.
I hope that someone at the BBC or elsewhere will put them right and ensure that the royalties go to the composer and not to the 'traditional arranged by arranged by' violinist.
In addition to that, the way she performed it it was almost unrecognisable. But I guess that is down to personal taste. I prefer fiddle music.
