The 大象传媒 SSO, conducted by Donald Runnicles, concludes a programme of Viennese classics by Strauss, Schubert, Berg and Beethoven.

Schubert (arr. Webern): Six German Dances
Beethoven Symphony No.5 in C minor

Julian Rachlin violin
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Donald Runnicles conductor

Johann Strauss's unofficial Austrian national anthem begins a dance through the imagination of Vienna, a city whose relationship with tradition can be both as tender as Webern's tribute to Schubert, and as revolutionary as Beethoven's explosive Fifth Symphony. Or, indeed, as personal as Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, dedicated "to the memory of an Angel". Soloist Julian Rachlin, in partnership with Donald Runnicles, uncovers the painful secrets behind the shot-silk beauty of this quintessentially Viennese - yet wholly universal - 20th century masterpiece.
