Donald Runnicles leads the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Detlev Glanert: Brahms-Fantasie (world premiere). Brahms: Alto Rhapsody. Schumann: Symphony No 4. Brahms: Symphony No 1.
Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Jamie MacDougall
The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and its chief conductor Donald Runnicles perform Brahms's towering Symphony No.1 from the orchestra's home in the City Halls, Glasgow. It is complimented by one of Brahms's most uplifting choral works, the Goethe-inspired Alto Rhapsody, featuring mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly and the men of the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, and the original incarnation of Schumann's Symphony No. 4, from 1841. The influence of Beethoven can clearly be felt in Brahms's symphonic composition - and for this evening's concert Brahms's influence can be heard in a specially composed fantasy for orchestra by German composer, Detlev Glanert, commissioned as a companion piece to Brahms' Symphony No.1, by 大象传媒 Radio 3 for the 大象传媒 SSO.
