´óÏó´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Matthias Pintscher conducts the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra in music by Salvatore Sciarrino, Helmut Lachenmann, Joan Magrane Figuera and Jay Schwartz. Plus music by Liza Lim.
Presented by Tom Service.
Matthias Pintscher conducts the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a concert recorded at Glasgow's City Halls.
Joan Magrané Figuera's ...secreta desolación... references Wagner's Parsifal, while another German musical revolutionary, Helmut Lachenmann, uses silences and large orchestral forces in Tableau, a work described as "mesmerising, startling and occasionally forbidding". Jay Schwartz's Delta combines "physics with the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of sound" and Salvatore Sciarrino's flute concerto, with soloist Matteo Cesari, offers a fragile soundworld on the edge of silence.
Plus, the latest of Hear and Now's series Modern Muses, features the composer Liza Lim and cellist Severine Ballon, and there's a chance to hear one of Liza Lim's most significant large scale works, The Compass, for solo flute, didgeridoo and orchestra.
