BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra: Thursday Night Series: Russian Winter: The Soldier's Tale
Thursday 4th December 2008, 7.00pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
This fascinating programme combines the youthful ardour of Rachmaninov’s stunning First Concerto with the powerful theatricality of Stravinsky’s 1918 mini-drama.
The Soldier’s Tale combines black humour and deep pathos in its re-telling of the age-old story of a man who makes a pact with the devil.
This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3
6:15pm Pre-concert prelude (in the Recital Room): Stephen Johnson discusses The Soldier’s Tale.
