Elgar's Symphony No 1

Ryan Wigglesworth and the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in music by Jonathan Woolgar and Elgar. Martin James Bartlett joins them for Mozart's Piano Concerto No 20 in D minor.

Edward Elgar was a shopkeeper鈥檚 son from a country town, but his First Symphony spans worlds 鈥� a sweeping, multicoloured musical autobiography on a magnificent scale, burning with passion and beginning (as well as ending) with a melody you鈥檒l never forget.
Jonathan Woolgar comes from West Yorkshire, but in his award-winning Canzoni et Ricercari he travels in time to the Renaissance, unlocking new sounds of bracing power and haunting beauty.
The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor Ryan Wigglesworth brings a composer鈥檚 creativity to these two astonishing scores 鈥� and is joined by 大象传媒 Young Musician 2014, Martin James Bartlett, to celebrate the brilliance, the wit and the unchained inspiration of Mozart.
