ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO - Butterworth, Sibelius, Beethoven

Andre Manze conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO in a concert at City Halls, Glasgow. Butterworth: Two English Idylls. Sibelius: Violin Concerto (soloist: Akiko Suwanai). Beethoven: Symphony No 6.

Presented by Jamie MacDougall.

Live from the City Halls, Glasgow

Andrew Manze conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO in Butterworth's Idylls, Sibelius' Violin Concerto (with Akiko Suwanai) and Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.

George Butterworth's tragic death in the Great War cut short a hugely promising career, and his beautiful Idylls show what a loss he was to English music. Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony needs no introduction but in Andrew Manze's hands, it will come up fresh as new paint.
