A literary theme links this programme. One of the hits of the 2009 Edinburgh International Festival, Battistelli’s is a corker of a piece vividly evoking the storm and supernatural terror of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Sorrow touches the premiere of Edward Harper’s Pastoral, which is a setting of Burns’ poetry. When he died in 2009, Harper was working on a new symphony for the SCO and his friend Lyell Cresswell has completed this single movement from his manuscript in tribute. Mezzo Karen Cargill, one of Scotland’s brightest stars, also sings traditional folk songs arranged by Berio.
