Programme

Concert Information

New worlds for old. Exiled from Russia 鈥 but big in America - Sergei Rachmaninov searched his memories, and his 鈥楽ymphonic Dances鈥 fuse the melancholy of exile with the sheer electricity of the jazz-age USA. Dream ballet? Concerto for orchestra? Or simply the greatest symphony Rachmaninov never wrote? However you hear them, they鈥檙e the heart of a concert that鈥檚 not ashamed to paint pictures and summon powerful emotions. Bruch鈥檚 much-loved Violin Concerto comes from a German romantic world of solitary wanderers and distant horn-calls, so it鈥檚 perfect for what one critic has called the 鈥渓ovely freedom and sense of fantasy鈥 of Henning Kraggerud 鈥 a violinist who has something fresh to say in even the most familiar music. The new 成人快手 SSO season at the Music Hall begins with what鈥檚 arguably still Scotland鈥檚 greatest single contribution to the history of classical music: Mendelssohn鈥檚 Scottish seascape 鈥楾he Hebrides鈥, conceived on a boat trip to Staffa but opening new horizons of musical imagination and colour.

Please note: Alpesh Chauhan replaces the 成人快手 SSO's Chief Conductor Thomas Dausgaard who is unwell.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 成人快手 Radio 3.
