From cheerful opening to serene finish, there’s no music more life-affirming than Beethoven’s lovely Pastoral Symphony. Hear it for the thunderstorms and shepherds, or simply enjoy the sound of a genius relaxing amidst nature – either way, it’ll refresh your spirit. Peter Oundjian teams up with Artist in Residence Jan Vogler and violinist Mira Wang in Brahms’ romantic Double Concerto, plus a piece of musical history in the making: a Scottish premiere by one of Germany’s greatest living composers.
