Symphonie fantastique

Ilan Volkov conducts the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. They are joined by Charles Curtis for Cassandra Miller's Duet for Cello and Orchestra.

Bold sounds, and musical storytelling, characterise this concert from Glasgow: brought to life with passionate precision by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's long-time collaborator, Ilan Volkov. Cassandra Miller's composition 'Duet for Cello and Orchestra' is a 30-minute homage to the Sicilian opera composer Vincenzo Bellini and has been recognised as one of the most significant and original works of the Twenty-First Century. And in this concert it is paired with an equitably ground-breaking one from the Nineteenth: Berlioz's far-sighted piece of orchestral narrative-making, the Symphonie Fantastique.
