大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Optimistic and vivacious music by Shostakovich: his Second Piano concerto. Steven Osborne joins the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra to perform this cheerful work as the Scottish virtuoso celebrates his 50th birthday. The orchestra also bring to life Shostakovich's sharply characterised music for an absurdist stage adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet from 1932.
Alongside and in between, the orchestra, with conductor Martyn Brabbins, evoke two dramatic landscapes by Aaron Copland. The atmospheric urban loneliness of Quiet City; and the steep, inaccessible mountains of Appalachian Spring.
