The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scottish present the Korean Proms, plus the Belcea Quartet at 30

Elizabeth Alker with exclusive recordings including the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scottish Symphony Orchestra on tour to South Korea and music to mark 30 years of the Belcea Quartet

Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings, including highlights from the series of ‘Proms’ concerts given in South Korea by the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Ryan Wigglesworth at the end of last year. Today, they are joined by the South Korean cellist Jaemin Han for the cello concerto Nachtergebung (Night Surrender) by Korean-born Donghoon Shin. The work is an imaginative weaving of musical responses to the imagery and language of the Expressionist verse of Austrian poet Georg Trakl.

Also in today’s programme, Ravel and Liszt interpreted by South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho. And Elizabeth marks 30 years of the Belcea Quartet who today are joined by their colleagues in the Ebéne Quartet for a performance of one of the finest of all string octets, that by Romanian George Enescu
