Event Details
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Flights of Inspiration 3
City Halls : Grand Hall
Distinguished American cellist Lynn Harrell joins Donald Runnicles and the orchestra in this rich mix of music by French composers. The inspiration for Dutilleux’s elusive, nocturnal Cello Concerto came from the poetry of Baudelaire, especially a line that gave it its title: A whole distant world… dwells in your depths, oh scented forest. Also inspired by literature was Ravel’s wonderful ballet score for Mother Goose. And Spain, often such a great source of inspiration for French composers, forms the exotic backdrop to both Debussy’s Ibéria and Ravel’s ever-popular showpiece, Bolero.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Stephen Johnson talks about tonight’s magical all-French programme.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Lynn Harrell plays Debussy’s Sonata for cello and piano of 1915.
