Maxim Emelyanychev conducts Berlioz, MacMillan and Maxwell Davies
Live from City Halls in Glasgow, acclaimed mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill joins the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the SCO Chorus and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev.
Live from City Halls in Glasgow, acclaimed mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill joins the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the SCO Chorus and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev for a concert inspired by poets and writers. Berlioz wrote La Mort de Cleopatre after reading French poet Vieillard鈥檚 depiction of the Egyptian queen鈥檚 dramatic final moments. He noted in his memoirs 鈥榟ere was an idea worth expressing in music鈥�. Just a few years later he composed his Rob Roy Overture inspired by the tales of another writer, Sir Walter Scott. Sir James MacMillan鈥檚 new work for choir and orchestra receives its world premiere broadcast, setting a nature-infused love song by Robert Burns. Finally, Peter Maxwell Davies evokes a night of celebrations at an Orcadian wedding, with bagpipes announcing the rising morning sun.
Presented by Tom McKinney.
