DaveRo	Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??) (126* d)	RE: Ashokan Farewell - [NOT] A Scottish Lament	31 Jul 24
Having said that Benedetti's arrangement of Ashokan Farewell with the SSO (which crops up if you google the combination) sounds like a bad idea I thought I'd better listen to it. It's on a 2014 album based on Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasy, Op. 46, which presumably accounts for the presence of the SSO. Homecoming - A Scottish Fantasy Nicola Benedetti (violin, fiddle), Phil Cunningham (accordion, piano), Ewen Vernal (double bass), Tony Byrne (guitar), Éamon Doorley (bouzouki), Duncan Chisholm (fiddle), James MacIntosh (percussion), Julie Fowlis (vocals), Aly Bain (fiddle) BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Rory Macdonald (2014) There are samples - including of Ashokan Farewell - here: https://www.nicolabenedetti.co.uk/recordings-details/homecoming-a-scottish-fantasy Curiously the last two tracks are not on the 2024 re-release, Ashokan Farewell and this: trad.: Chan e caoidh Mhic Shiridh (It Is Not MacShiridh I Lament) Ewen Vernal (double bass), Nicola Benedetti (fiddle), Duncan Chisholm (fiddle), Phil Cunningham (piano)
