John Wilson conducts the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a concert from Glasgow featuring music by Enescu, Berkeley, Vaughan Williams, and Ravel's complete ballet Ma mere l'Oye.

Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Kate Molleson

Enescu: Suite no 1 in C major (1st movement)
Berkeley: Serenade for string orchestra
Vaughan Williams: On Wenlock Edge
Ravel: Ma mere l'Oye (Mother Goose)

John Wilson (conductor)
Benjamin Hulett (tenor)
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Initially written as a piano duet, Ravel鈥檚 'Mother Goose', is a musical depiction of fairy tales, which shimmers with orchestral magic. Two of Ravel's pupils bring some of that enchantment to their own works: Vaughan Williams鈥檚 setting of poems by A.E. Housman, sung in this concert by Benjamin Hulett; while Lennox Berkeley鈥檚 'Serenade' has grace and lightness of touch. And the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor John Wilson begin their concert with a dramatic suite by Romanian-born composer George Enescu.
