Sibelius, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky

Sir Mark Elder conducts music by Sibelius, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky.

Sir Mark Elder conducts the ѿý Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a live concert from City Halls, Glasgow.
From the very first performance, Scènes historiques II was praised for its "wonderful richness of colour", as Sibelius crafted a vivid work inspired by European history that is distinctively different from his first suite of the same name. The ѿý SSO are joined by pianist, Tom Borrow, for Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 which, having been destroyed in its original form, was reconstructed by the composer some 10 years later with extensive revisions that expanded the scope and ambition of the piece. Then, after the interval, Sir Mark Elder guides us through a wonderfully sumptuous selection from Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet score, The Sleeping Beauty.
