Beethoven, Turnage, Chin, Stravinsky
The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ryan Wigglesworth perform music by Stravinsky. Saxophonist Martin Robertson joins them for a blistering concerto by Mark-Anthony Turnage.
Bold juxtapositions and musical mirrors characterise this concert from the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor Ryan Wigglesworth. Stravinsky's Greek-inspired ballet 'Orpheus' is as melodious as it is sardonic, reflecting the classical sound-world of Beethoven. Unsuk Chin's highly-compressed Beethoven-inspired overture 'con subito forza' forms an echo to Beethoven's own Leonore Overture No 2, which opens the concert. And at the centre of the evening sits a passionate, existential roar of a saxophone concerto by Mark-Anthony Turnage. Saxophonist Martin Robertson becomes the protagonist of Samuel Beckett's monologue, 'Rockaby' in one of the most deeply colourful and dynamic concertos for the instrument ever written.
