大象传媒 SSO - Brahms, Strauss

Music from the Edinburgh Festival Chorus and 大象传媒 SSO conducted by Donald Runnicles. Brahms: Gesang der Parzen; Liebeslieder Waltzes; Shicksalslied. Strauss: Ein Heldenleben.

In the first of four specially recorded programmes from the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival, tonight a chance to hear the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor, Donald Runnicles.

In the opening concert of this year's festival, the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, celebrating 50 years, is featured in music by Brahms: three lyrical choral works with orchestra - Gesang der Parzen, Liebeslieder Waltzes and Schicksalslied.

And the concert continues with more Romanticism. A work which pushes orchestral performers as far as it does the narrative possibilities of tone-poem writing: Strauss's paean to an idealised hero, Ein Heldenleben.
