Hearing the complete Daphnis and Chloé with chorus is an overwhelming experience. Few scores have the opulent richness of sound that Ravel conjures up in this magical music, and Donald Runnicles and the orchestra will surely revel in its virtuosity. The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, premiered by the BBC SSO in 1990, has become one of the most often played modern British compositions around the world. A long-established BBC SSO party piece, this performance will mark James MacMillan’s 50th birthday year in truly dramatic style.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Writer and broadcaster Stephen Johnson introduces James MacMillan’s The Confession of Isobel Gowdie. He’s joined by the historian Louise Yeoman to discuss witchcraft in 17th century Scotland.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Shai Wosner plays Mozart’s Variations on a theme of Gluck, K.455.
