BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Runnicles condusts Beethoven's Fifth

City Halls : Grand Hall

Johann Strauss’s unofficial Austrian national anthem begins a dance through the imagination of Vienna, a city whose relationship with tradition can be both as tender as Webern’s tribute to Schubert, and as revolutionary as Beethoven’s explosive Fifth Symphony. Or, indeed, as personal as Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto, dedicated “to the memory of an Angel”. Expect soloist Julian Rachlin, in partnership with Donald Runnicles, to uncover the painful secrets behind the shot-silk beauty of this quintessentially Viennese – yet wholly universal – 20th century masterpiece.
