Land of the Mountain and Flood

M. Hartman | East Coast, Etats-Unis | 08/28/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

""Land of the Mountain and the Flood" is Hamish MacCunn's best known work. The version on this cd is absolutely wonderful. This is one of the few cd's that focuses exclusively on MacCunn. It is wonderful to get to hear a selection of his other work. The cd includes excerpts from his opera Jeanie Deans. MacCunn emerges as an extremely gifted composer. The excessive Romanticism of some of these pieces is a bit alienating for me, but on the whole this cd is an excellent tribute to Scotland's greatest Romantic composer."
