Artistes

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Sir Donald Runnicles	Direction

In their first appearance this season, Donald
Runnicles and the BBC Scottish Symphony
Orchestra present two works by composers for
whom he has a particular affinity. Wagner’s gift
to his wife, Cosima, is presented in its pareddown
original orchestration, much as she would
have heard it that Christmas morning in 1870.
The Royal Albert Hall is an ideal venue for
Bruckner’s symphonic revelations. The Eighth
Symphony, arguably the greatest of them all,
remains a huge and glorious challenge.

Prom 27: Revealing Bruckner from Runnicles and the BBC SSO

David Allen, 3rd August

Few conductors preface Bruckner’s vast Eighth Symphony with an amuse-bouche before the interval. If they do, they tend to pick one of three options, all of which make sense in different ways. Rarely there might be a new composition. More often you hear Haydn or Mozart, especially from the older guard of Brucknerians like Bernard Haitink, Daniel Barenboim, and so on.
