Live from City Halls, Glasgow

Presented by Andrew McGregor

Musical mavericks, and musical humour. This eclectic concert from the City Halls in Glasgow pits Beethoven's most sprightly of Symphonies, his Second, against a recent work by American megastar composer John Adams. Joined by the Doric String Quartet the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra will perform Adams' cheeky take on fragments of Beethoven's music.

And at the helm is a conductor whose musical imagination stretches far and wide. Markus Stenz intersperses these works with two sparkling pieces from more ancient sources: Rameau's Suite No. 1 from his theatrical work 'Les Indes Galantes', and Jean-F茅ry Rebel's evocative and dramatic overture Chaos from Les 脡l茅mens.

Rameau: Suite No. 1 (from 'Les Indes Galantes')
John Adams: Absolute Jest, for String Quartet and Orchestra

8.10 Interval Music
Featuring a chance to hear another example of an American composer's musical irreverence, in Michael Daugherty's cheeky but heartfelt 'Le Tombeau de Liberace', conducted by Markus Stenz and the London Sinfonietta back in 1996.

8.30
Rebel: Chaos (from 'Les 脡l茅mens')
