Javier Perianes plays Mozart in Glasgow
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra encounters incredible women with Mel Bonis's Three Legendary Women and Strauss's Elektra, alongside Mozart with pianist Javier Perianes.
Tonight, under conductor Anja Bihlmaier, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra encounters incredible women – and none more remarkable than the pioneering 19th century French composer Mel Bonis. Through her we explore three characters: the princess Salome knows her own powers and strikes a terrible bargain, Ophelia is the tragic lover of Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Cleopatra rules like a goddess and dies like a queen. Meanwhile Richard Strauss harks back to ancient Greece, where Elektra nurtures a murderous obsession – until, to some of the most shatteringly violent music ever composed, she witnesses heaven and earth rain vengeance upon her tormentors. It’s a gripping contrast to Mozart at his most graceful, as pianist Javier Perianes brings all his charisma and imagination to a concerto that Mozart once played himself.
Presented by Kate Molleson live from City Halls, Glasgow.
