Symphony No.56 in C
SCHNITTKE
Concerto Grosso No.1
SCHUBERT
Symphony No.8 ‘Unfinished’
Lorenza Borrani director/violin
Please note: In Edinburgh and Glasgow, this is a matinee concert that starts at 2pm.
Smouldering drama collides with daring humour in this vibrant matinee concert directed by inspirational Italian violinist Lorenza Borrani.
As energetic as she is charismatic – and Leader of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe since 2008 – Borrani brought an intimate chamber sensibility to her SCO debut in spring 2024. She returns to delve deep into one of classical music’s greatest enigmas. Nobody knows why Franz Schubert abandoned his ‘Unfinished’ Symphony after just two movements – but with their haunting beauty and dramatic intensity, they come together in one of the repertoire’s most compelling creations.
Soviet pioneer Alfred Schnittke hurls together Baroque parodies, avant-garde extremism, tangos, waltzes and more in the madcap musical funhouse of his Concerto Grosso No.1, while Haydn offers wit, sophistication and elegance in his joyful Symphony No.56.
