Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra

Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)

The 大象传媒 SSO and their chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard perform a mighty diptych: two works from the classical music canon from the stage of the orchestra's home in Glasgow's City Halls. They are joined by that most masterful interpreter of Brahms, Elisabeth Leonskaja, to perform what is possibly the composer's most heartfelt music: his First Piano Concerto. And the orchestra itself is showcased in Bartok's glossiest and most virtuosic orchestral work: his Concerto for Orchestra.
