ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers

Louise Fryer presents recent performances by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers, with music by Mozart, Haydn, Pizzetti, Duruflé and Stravinsky.

Louise Fryer presents a week featuring recent performances by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers. From Wednesday to Friday the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO and their Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles perform Wagner's entire opera Tristan and Isolde - one act per day. And a theme throughout the week is twentieth century music influenced by older music - including a brand new CD of Stravinsky by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO, Renaissance-inspired choral music from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers, and (tomorrow) a special live concert by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra.

The week begins with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers in concert in Ayr, performing music by Mozart and Haydn. Plus a first hearing for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO's new Stravinsky CD, with their Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov. And the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers perform French composer Maurice Duruflé's motets inspired by Gregorian chant, and the beautiful neo-Renaissance Requiem written in the 1920s by the Italian Ildebrando Pizzetti - whose music features alongside Stravinsky's every day this week.
