About

Did Haydn write Scottish songs? Yes, some 400 of them! In fact Haydn, like Beethoven and Pleyel, wrote many of his arrangements of Scottish folk songs on commission. The publisher also approached some prominent poets like Robert Burns to write new texts for him.

Singers Lorna Anderson (soprano) and Jamie MacDougall (tenor), together with the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt and a team of musicologists
, have embarked on a huge project to record all Haydn Scottish songs. This is the second release in the series - a set of 4 CDs covering 91 songs.

The project sheds light on an interesting, hardly-known part of Haydn’s varied oeuvre. The booklet contains all texts in English, with some explanation in German.
