Presented by Catherine Bott. Stephane Deneve conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall in a programme featuring some of the most sumptuous scores in the orchestral repertory. It begins with Dutilleux's Symphony No 1, which shows the orchestration and glowing colours that are characteristic of this composer, still producing music in his ninth decade. Leif Ove Andsnes joins the orchestra as soloist in Rachmaninov's Fourth Piano Concerto ahead of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
