Summary
Eric Whitacre leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers in Mozart’s Requiem and contemporary choral works, featuring soprano Eleanor Dennis at Paisley Abbey.
Why it's fantastic
Choral fans usually associate Eric Whitacre with the shimmering, modern harmonies found in the first half of this atmospheric programme. It is a rare treat to see him pivot to the shadows of Mozart’s final masterpiece, a work defined by the mysterious circumstances of its unfinished composition.
