Maxim Emelyanychev is the Scottish Chamber Orchestra鈥檚 dynamic principal conductor, but for today's Lunchtime Concert he takes up his seat at the keyboard to perform two works alongside five of the SCO鈥檚 celebrated woodwind principals.

When Mozart composed his Quintet in E flat, aged 28, he believed it to be the best thing he had written in his life. Scored for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, this life-affirming work gives each instrument their moment to shine.

Ludwig Thuille was a prolific composer, best known for his operas and chamber music and a contemporary and friend of Richard Strauss. After his death in 1907, at the age of 45, his reputation waned and his work was neglected. His Sextet for piano and wind instruments remains his most popular, though still under-performed, chamber works.
