Subject: RE: Help: Britten's The Highland Balou: Highland terms
I thought it was implied that I meant native speakers (because non-natives apparently can't be bothered to learn basic Scots phonology). I mean a Scots speaker who is familiar with singing technique and traditional interpretation. Kenneth McKellar, for example, does fine Burns interpretations, and eschews the ue sound. (Granted, much of Burns work was almost entirely in English).
