´óÏó´«Ã½

Elizabeth Alker introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings including highlights from the tour to South Korea by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Ryan Wigglesworth at the end of last year. Today they are joined by the South Korean cellist Jaemin Han for the cello concerto Nachtergebung (Night Surrender) by Korean born Donghoon Shin. The work is an imaginative weaving of musical responses to the imagery and language of the Expressionist verse of Austrian poet Georg Trakl.
Also in today’s programme Mozart and Ravel interpreted by South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho. And Elizabeth marks 30 years of the Belcea Quartet who today are joined by their colleagues in the Ebéne Quartet for a performance of one of the finest of all string octets, that by Romanian George Enescu.
