Louise Fryer concludes this week's focus on BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with the final act of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, with Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles. Plus final instalments of the week's other composer threads - Stravinsky from the BBC SSO and Renaissance-inspired choral music by Pizzetti, performed by the BBC Singers. And to round the week off, Runnicles conducts his orchestra in a virtuoso piece of autobiography by American composer John Adams.
