Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy was one of the most popular novels of its day, inspiring readers across Europe... including Hector Berlioz. He turned the tale of Scotland's legendary folk hero into a vivid orchestral overture.

Hear Berlioz's Rob Roy Overture, tonight on WSHU, 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
