Program Notes:

Malcolm Arnold has composed a number of "national dances." The Four Scottish Dances, composed in 1957, are original works that employ traits and timbres derived from Scottish folk music. The opening movement (Pesante) is in the style of a strathspey, a slow Scottish dance from the valley of Spey, with a hint of bagpipes and their drones. A lively reel starts off the second movement (Vivace). The bassoon's melody brings visions of the town drunk, who is whisked away with the return of the reel. In the third movement (Allegretto), Arnold provides "an impression of the sea and mountain scenery on a calm summer's day in the Hebrides." The last movement (Con brio) is a lively fling filled with a sense of abandonment.

I agree. I'm learning the bassoon solo now and this version just seems a little rushed and not sluggishly contrasting enough with the rest of the movement.

Nice recording! Played this under John Paynter (who transcribed this) and Malcolm Arnold (guest composer) when I was a student at Northwestern Univ. Bassoon solo is much faster in Mvt II than I've ever heard, but nicely played. Bravo :)
