Ilan Volkov and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra pair a classic 19th-century symphony with the world premiere of a newly completed orchestral triptych. Premiered just days before the composer鈥檚 sudden death, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 鈥楶ath茅tique鈥� Symphony, with its evocative subtitle, is entangled with its author鈥檚 own struggles and emotions. Its passionate outpourings meet the intricate play of proportion, density and energy in American composer Catherine Lamb鈥檚 mesmerising Portions Transparent/Opaque 鈥� a trio of movements inspired by colour theory that move gradually from sonic expansion to collapse.
