Renowned violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto directs the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and acclaimed tenor Allan Clayton in a performance recorded at Glasgow鈥檚 City Halls. Presented by Stephen Broad.

Surreal French poetry weaves through Benjamin Britten's work for tenor and orchestra as he sets words by Arthur Rimbaud depicting castles made of bone and howling moons and Nico Muhly keeps us in a fantasy world using Andre Breton鈥檚 imaginary visions and the many loves of Jaques-Bernard Brunius in his Three Songs for tenor, violin and drones. Before the interval is Haydn鈥檚 final symphony No. 104, and after it Muhly鈥檚 violin concerto 鈥楽hrink鈥�. It鈥檚 a work that 鈥榦bsesses over certain musical intervals like ninths and sevenths鈥�, performed tonight by its dedicatee Pekka Kuusisto.
