Artiste: BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Retour sur le concert du BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra au Concertgebouw de Bruges.

Après un concerto pour piano de Mozart un peu décevant malgré l'interprétation très juste d'Imogen Cooper, le BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra donne une lecture exaltante de la neuvième symphonie de Bruckner, sous la baguette de Thomas Dausgaard.

Paweł Kapuła and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra make hay with a variegated Proms, opening with Hans Werner Henze's orchestral fantasy on Schubert’s Erlkönig.

The Edinburgh International Festival roll out their A-team for Mahler's early Das Klagende Lied, with shadowy textures and quivering darkness in Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.

Alena Baeva is the soloist in a performance of Erich Korngold's Violin Concerto lacking a little kitsch. 

With a focus on Shostakovich, and many prestigious guest orchestras from around Europe, this year’s BBC Proms confirms orchestral music can make a big public statement.

Stretching over 8 weeks, and with concerts in London and 6 cities across the UK, this year’s BBC Proms has a vast offering – including guest orchestras, premieres, and celebrations of Holst, Bruckner and Schoenberg.

The Canadian composer talks about her working method, her interest in vocality, her guitar concerto for Sean Shibe and the Dunedin Consort, and whether she’s still trying to make audiences cry.
