Hamish MacCunn Jeanie
Deans
Presented by Roderic Dunnett. The first opera by a Scotsman to be premiered in Scotland (in 1894) has been described as the finest serious opera of the late Victorian period. This studio recording of highlights reveals just how effectively MacCunn captured the spirit of Scotland in his music, with a powerful story that is tinged with nationalism.
