GriegPeer Gynt (selections)
Gripping drama, high adventure, quirky Nordic enchantment: Griegs exuberant music for Ibsens play Peer Gynt charts the dreams, voyages and mischief of the Norwegian scoundrel.
The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under conductor Thomas Dausgaard explores this enthralling music, from the much-loved In the Hall of the Mountain King to the tender Morning, by way of selections rarely heard.
Beforehand, world-renowned Scottish percussionist Colin Currie and his ensemble join the Orchestra for an exhilarating celebration of rhythm. Glorious Percussion is an astonishing concerto for percussion quintet and orchestra by Tatar/Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina. Its spectral sounds and scintillating pulses conjure everything from spiritual reflection to raw, unrestrained energy.
