Scottish Chamber Orchestra and George Benjamin celebrate Britten
Alan Coady, 27th April
This second of two SCO Britten centenary concerts saw its subject juxtaposed with two living British composers and Mozart. Cynics might consider the closing Symphony no. 40 in G minor (1788) a reward for surviving the rest of the programme’s modernity.
