Scotsman 200: Concerts that captured the hearts of audiences

To mark the 200th anniversary of The Scotsman, we are dipping into our archives to bring you a selection of some of the biggest stories of the last two centuries. This month we have recalled Scotland’s arts scene, reproducing The Scotsman’s original coverage of many of the most memorable events from the stage and screen to exhibitions, concerts and Edinburgh’s festivals. Today the focus is on classical and folk music. Scotland’s rich landscapes and history have provided a great deal of inspiration for composers of classical and folk music. Its venues have also welcomed world-famous performers – pianists, orchestras, stars of the opera.
