Scottish Chamber Orchestra: Season 11/12 Mullova Plays Beethoven
City Halls : Grand Hall

Limpid in tone, matchless in technique, fearlessly honest in her musicality: it is easy to see why Mullova has become one of the biggest stars of the violin worldwide. Her performance launches a season-long journey through many of the concertos, symphonies and choral works of Beethoven. Schumann’s symphony was a labour of love – it took around a decade to complete and is dedicated to the great violinist Joseph Joachim, who was a child prodigy when it was begun but a mature artist (and grown man) by the time of its completion. Yet, debate still rages on about whether Schumann’s first or last thoughts on this piece were superior. On this occasion, Ticciati opts for the first version – the one Schumann’s own friend, Brahms, preferred.
Pre-concert talk at 6.30pm
