The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Fiona Talkington introduces a week of music, recorded at recent sessions and concerts, performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony under a variety of conductors. Today we feature the Overture in E flat by Louise Farrenc, followed by Robert Schumann's Concerto for piano in A minor with soloist Elizabeth Leonskaja; then two Beethoven pieces starting with his Rondo a capriccio, orchestrated by Schulhoff, then his Symphony No. 8 in F major. Next comes the beautiful 'Nozze di Primavera' by the composer, music producer and former head of music at BBC Scotland Martin Dalby. The piece was a wedding gift to his wife and quotes an enchanting ancient wedding hymn. Then three orchestral pieces by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett: Troubadour Music, Aubade and Anniversaries. The afternoon ends with Richard Walthew's Clarinet Concerto with Robert Plane as soloist.
