大象传媒

Katie Derham presents a week featuring performances by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, an opera matinee by Nielsen and unprecedented live music events and simulcasts with the 大象传媒 CO, the British Paraorchestra and the 大象传媒 NOW to mark the inaugural 大象传媒 Music Day this Friday.

Today, a recent concert recorded in Ayr Town Hall of symphonies by Mendelssohn and Beethoven with a Concertino for trombone by Mendelssohn?s friend and collaborator, the virtuoso violinist Ferdinand David with Simon Johnson, 大象传媒SSO?s principal trombone as soloist. Plus Stravinsky?s neoclassical ?ballet in three deals? Jeu de cartes and the six Humoresques for violin & orchestra by Sibelius, heard here as one continuous suite as the composer originally intended. Stefan Jackiw makes his debut with the orchestra in these technically challenging and enchanting works.
