Title: Scottish Painters
Post by: Paul Beveridge on February 26, 2018, 03:06:17 PM
The intro to 'Scottish Painters' shows the two Roberts travelling in a horse and cart while 'Lincolnshire Posy plays on the soundtrack; anyone have any idea where this version comes from? Perhaps it was recorded especially for the film. Frederick Fennells version is contemporaneous- and considered to be definitive- but it doesn't seem to be that.

Interesting question.  I'm away for a few days but when I am back I'll watch it again.  I doubt I will know the answer but I'll check some books as well.  Iain

To my ears the version on the film sounds too rustic to be the Fennell

Well I've had no joy coming up with a source for the recording. I guess it must have been recorded by a BBC band for the soundtrack. It's taken at a much slower pace than the Fennel recording of the time and I quite like that.
