Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra

Elisabeth Leonskaja (piano)
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)

Another chance to hear a concert originally broadcast live in May 2019. The 大象传媒 SSO and their chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard performing a mighty diptych: two works from the classical music canon from the stage of the orchestra's home in Glasgow's City Halls. They were 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.
