Performance on 3 - Live from City Halls, Glasgow - Part 2

Presented by Petroc Trelawny Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov returns to the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra for the first time this season in this concert live from City Halls, Glasgow. This fascinating programme includes a rare performance of Britten's early concerto for violin and viola, which he completed in sketch form but never finalised for performance, and Benedict Mason's exploration of the lighthouses of England and Wales which translates the world of light into the world of sound, examining the phenomenon of 'sea music'. Volkov's subtle understanding of the music of Elgar led to a fine interpretation of the First Symphony with the BBC SSO some years ago. Now, to close This Sceptred Isle concert series, he brings his consummate intellect and ardent musicianship to the big, romantic canvas of the Second Symphony.
