Isata Kanneh-Mason plays Beethoven

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven鈥檚 Third Piano Concerto, with Isata Kanneh-Mason, and also journey through fascinating corners of America鈥檚 musical landscape.

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra with pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason play Beethoven鈥檚 3rd Concerto, and also journey through fascinating corners of America鈥檚 musical landscape.

We hear the serene studied dissonance of Carl Ruggles, via an intense miniature from firebrand Ruth Crawford Seeger, to the wit and energy of little known Julia Perry and ending with a work written by Alvin Singleton in 1993 in memory of his sister. The spirit of Mozart graces Beethoven鈥檚 Third Piano Concerto - but its drama and passion are all Ludwig鈥檚 own. Here the outstanding Isata Kanneh-Mason guides us through its world of light and shade in the second part of the evening.

Live from City Halls, Glasgow
