ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO - Brahms, Strauss
Music from the Edinburgh Festival Chorus and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO conducted by Donald Runnicles. Brahms: Gesang der Parzen; Liebeslieder Waltzes; Shicksalslied. Strauss: Ein Heldenleben.
In the first of four specially recorded programmes from the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival, tonight a chance to hear the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor, Donald Runnicles.
In the opening concert of this year's festival, the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, celebrating 50 years, is featured in music by Brahms: three lyrical choral works with orchestra - Gesang der Parzen, Liebeslieder Waltzes and Schicksalslied.
And the concert continues with more Romanticism. A work which pushes orchestral performers as far as it does the narrative possibilities of tone-poem writing: Strauss's paean to an idealised hero, Ein Heldenleben.
