Let there be light: UK premiere of Sir James MacMillan’s Fiat Lux

A thoughtfully conceived and well-executed BBCSO programme, if not gaining more than the sum of its respective parts.
SCO and Storgårds in Rautavaara, Beethoven and Mendelssohn
Finland’s Einojuhani Rautavaara is no stranger to the SCO, who premièred his Autumn Gardens in 1999; nor to this concert’s conductor, fellow Finn John Storgårds, who recorded a disc of his works earlier this year. Although not a world première, this was a UK first performance of his Into the Heart of Light for string orchestra.
