We welcome revered British violinist Anthony Marwood to direct the SCO
in a very personal selection of pieces. This is music to bring a smile
to your face – and maybe to subvert your expectations too – as it
moves from shadowy mystery to blazing brightness.
Charles Ives poses profound questions of the cosmos, while Alexander
Raskatov wittily interrogates Mozart, and Haydn continues the wit in
his stormy ‘Le soir’. The lush, romantic richness of Bruckner and
Elgar provides a stark contrast with three acerbic dances from
Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale, bittersweet music from a time of
pandemic.
Marwood closes his exhilarating journey through musical worlds with
Kurt Weill’s brilliantly entertaining Violin Concerto, full of the
composer’s trademark sophisticated yet acidic tunes.
