Thread Name: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament (??)
Subject: RE: Ashokan Farewell - A Scottish Lament
We must have played the damn thing hundreds of times in our pub sessions. In my view it doesn't bear the multiple repetitions it's often played with in various versions, many of which border on the dreary. Classic FM is not innocent! Nicola Benedetti played it well if not a little idiosyncratically. Mr Ungar is known to be solicitous as to getting the appropriate reward for the performances of his composition and I'm sure he'll get to hear of this!
