BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra: Christine Brewer sings Strauss
Thursday 18th March 2010, 7.30pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
The international reputation of Donald Runnicles as a Wagner conductor has been forged in the world’s leading opera houses, from Vienna, Berlin and Bayreuth to New York and San Francisco. The wonderful overture and virtuosic Venusburg Music from Tannhäuser make a superb start to this programme which features one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine Brewer, in a ravishing selection of songs by Richard Strauss. “The apotheosis of the dance” was how Wagner described the extraordinary rhythmic energy of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony – music that truly sounds as if it was conceived in a white heat of inspiration.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Christine Brewer talks to Gavin Reid, Director BBC SSO.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Christine Brewer sings a varied selection of songs, accompanied at the piano by the BBC SSO’s Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles.
