A Scottish Fantasy
German composer Max Bruch had a soft spot in his heart for the music of Scotland. He once said his best work was inspired by folk music. We'll hear one of his most popular works, the "Scottish Fantasy," for violin and orchestra. Violinist Michael Ludwig joins the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and conductor JoAnn Falletta, in concert in Norfolk, Virginia.
