But I wonder if we will still arrive in Scotland with dry shoes when we are going to experience our Danish superstar Nicolaj Znaider in one of his increasingly rare appearances as a soloist on Danish soil in Max Bruch's  Scottish Fantasy – a violin concerto in every way except name. Max Bruch was bitten by a mad Scotsman and so fascinated by the wild people to the north that when he found a sheet music book with folk melodies from the proud people, he simply had to use them. It became a violin concerto, which he did not want to call that because he had stolen them all – but that does not make them any less languid and beautiful in Bruch's warm orchestrations. And in the hands of Nicolai Znaider, we dare say that the wall coverings almost melt in Tivoli's Concert Hall in this rarely heard gem.
