Summary
Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, featuring soprano Sophie Bevan in a programme of Mussorgsky, Lyadov, and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the dark magic of Russian folklore as Lyadov brings the mythical witch Baba Yaga to life through vivid orchestral colour. The evening builds towards Tchaikovsky’s famous fifth symphony, a powerful journey through fate that features one of the most celebrated and soulful horn solos in the entire classical repertoire.
