大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
As part of the 2018 Aldeburgh Festival from Snape Maltings the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Associate Guest Conductor John Wilson continue their exploration of Benjamin Britten's American experiences, and the work of Leonard Bernstein.
After opening with the Suffolk-suffused 4 Sea Interludes the orchestra is joined by Pavel Kolesnikov for a performance of Britten's Diversions for Piano Left Hand: a vigorous set of variations written for Paul Wittgenstein after a meeting in New York.
In the second half of the concert Claire Chase is the flute soloist in Halil: a sombre and modernist-tinged memorial work by Leonard Bernstein. And the evening concludes with music designed to evoke the open prairie: the popular suite of music from Aaron Copland's 1938 cowboy fantasy, Billy The Kid.
