Program Notes
After Israel (Rikudim), Hungary (Puszta) and France (Suite Provençale) it was Scotland, with its famous highlands, that was to be a source of inspiration for Jan Van der Roost. In a musically impressive way the composer combines the characteristics of Scottish folk-music with his own creativity. As may be expected from Jan Van der Roost A Highland Rhapsody developed into a gripping concert piece, which will be appreciated by both players and audiences.
