Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 2008/09 Faust Plays Dvorák
Friday 5th December 2008, 7.30pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
A dramatic programme! Cherubini’s Medea was admired by Beethoven, and the overture is a cracker.
Dvorák’s Legends tell no single story – instead they evoke the heroic, humorous, earthy and tragic aspects of myths and legends generally and, like the Violin Concerto, are steeped in the folk music of Dvorák’s native Bohemia.
Weber ultimately found fame as an opera composer – and this early symphony shows exactly why. It is full of atmospheric colour and dramatic gestures to catch the ear.
