Hello everyone!
Today, on bringing my series shining the light on my favourite classical violinist, André Rieu to a close, I thought I'd focus upon one particular member of his Johann Strauss Orchestra; Manoe Konings.
I first heard "Highland Cathedral" from André's latest CD "Amore" that I got for Christmas last year and was instantly captivated, in part, I think, because I have quite a strong Scottish heritage which, apart from the fiery temperament, means there's always something particularly moving about the bagpipes I find.

It's as though (if you can pardon me whilst I make quite a detour for a moment!) it appeals through my blood to me from my ancestors. I feel, if I'm honest, it's as though it's some kind of ancestral gift passed down through previous generations; to fully feel and appreciate the music of my heritage as though it courses through my very bloodstream.
Have a listen for yourself and you can make your own mind up...
Highland Cathedral
As I said earlier in the post, this appeals to me a great deal and I hope that someone out there who reads this and watches this can be similarly inspired like I am every time I hear it.
Peace!
