Episode 2
Katie Derham with music from the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Walton: Symphony No 2. Somervell: Symphonic Variations (Normandy). Brahms: Tragic Overture. Brahms: Symphony No 1.
Today's music from the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's brand-new CDs begins with William Walton's Second Symphony, conducted by Martyn Brabbins. Composed over 25 years after Walton had written his first symphony, it was greeted with a muted response by the younger critics of the time as being out of date; but as the years pass opinions are shifting in its favour. We also hear from another English composer - Arthur Somervell, with a work for piano and orchestra in which pianist Martin Roscoe joins the orchestra and Martyn Brabbins.
The second half of the programme is given over to a performance recorded in Inverness featuring the 大象传媒 SSO's Principal Oboe, Stella McCracken and conducted by the orchestra's Associate Guest Conductor Andrew Manze. Mozart's wonderful Oboe Concerto is sandwiched between the gems of Brahms' Tragic Overture and his First Symphony.
Presented by Katie Derham.
