C'mon, give him a rest. It's a tradition he wasn't familiar with, and he's been one of the greatest violinists of any time. And indeed, one of the very few down to earth and not stiff up.
I'm sure I remember watching the original programme from which the footage comes cicra 1973 called something like "Mr Menuhin's Welcome to Blair Atholl Castle" By the way nice to hear the voice of ian Grimble (?) on this one,
Wow, this takes me back. I was there. Angus Strathspey and Reel. George Scott playing piano. A memorable day.
This is really great - my favorite Gow tune indeed! Thanks for this awesome memory!
@LongLasta It is from a 1986 TV programme called Castles of Scotland. Glad you liked it.

"Niel Gow" I think is the proper spelling.
My favorite tune. but Way WAY too much tremolo. Ruined it for me. It's like hes playing in an earthquake, with the DT's
Could you play it any better, if so post it, so everyone could see it !
sherom yea but he is tremolo in front of an audience

Badly out of tune too
@@anpochen Ok you are correct tremolo is volume not pitch. I stand corrected. Still too much vibrato for my ear thanks anyway.

That horse couldn't play the fiddle worth shit.
@@DieFlabbergast no, but could run.
