大象传媒

Presented by Catherine Bott.

In a concert given at City Halls, Glasgow, as part of a series inspired by the art of storytelling, the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Carlo Rizzi perform Ravel's intricate and delicately scored ballet Mother Goose. Young American violinist Anne Akiko Meyers returns to Scotland with Barber's Violin Concerto, which combines a slow movement with a moto perpetuo ending.

The concert ends with Symphony in D minor by Cesar Franck, which was premiered at the Paris Conservatoire. It is the Belgian composer's only symphony and although it was initially received with hostility, it soon became very popular.
