Sheku Kanneh-Mason
Sheku Kanneh-Mason joins the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra to perform a special version of Dvorak's Cello Concerto.
Recorded at City Halls, Glasgow, March 2021.
Presented by Jamie MacDougall
Augusta Read Thomas: Plea for Peace
Dvorak: Cello Concerto (arr. Morton)
James MacMillan: Tryst
Three takes on melody. The brilliant cellist, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, joins the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra at City Halls, Glasgow, to shine new light on a favourite concerto. Dvorak's masterpiece is performed in a new scaled-down version bringing its melodic invention into even sharper focus.
The stalwart concerto is sandwiched with 2 more recent compositions. 'A Plea For Peace' by Augusta Read Thomas, a wordless song for orchestra, its sinuous melody at times hopeful, needling, sad. And James MacMillan's 1989 piece for orchestra, 'Tryst', which has one of the composer's own folk-inspired melodies at its heart.
