Impressions:
Nicola Benedetti is a Scottish violinist.  She won Young British Classical Musician for 2011.  I've listened to her on YouTube.com and see her perform.  Benedetti is good.  I bought her latest album, which is called Homecoming - A Scottish Fantasy.  BBC Radio 3 and the Scottish BBC orchestra back her up.  The various works sample different aspects of Scottish music.  I enjoyed listening to it.

Recommended for Xmas.

There aren't many movies about the Seven Years War or the French and Indian Wars.  The Last of the Mohicans is one of them.  Today's classical music is Hollywood soundtracks.  I enjoyed this movie when it came out in theaters.  I bought the soundtrack.  It puts me in the mood for a Seven Years War game.

Recommended.
