Description
Maxim Emelyanychev is currently catapulting himself to the top rank of Beethoven interpreters. As chief conductor, he has been fine tuning the playing of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra – inspired by historical performance practice and allowing significant freedom for the ensemble. We can look forward to exuberant vitality in Beethoven’s Fifth, vivid characters in the »Prometheus« ballet music – and the boisterous Percussion Concerto by Scottish composer James MacMillan, performed by renowned percussionist Colin Currie.
