Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra
Sergei Babayan (piano)
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)
The opening 'sunrise' of Strauss' tone-poem Also sprach Zarathustra was immortalised by Stanley Kubrick in his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this concert, from the 2017 Edinburgh International Festival, the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard perform the work in full, exploring the mysteries of human existence, in all its technicolour orchestral riches.
Before that, Armenian-American virtuoso Sergei Babayan dazzles in Schumann's tender Piano Concerto; and Thomas Dausgaard opens the Usher Hall performance with Schubert's perennial mystery, his 8th Symphony, 'Unfinished'.
