Summary
Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and soprano Erika Baikoff in works by Britten, Strauss, and Jasper Eaglesfield at Glasgow City Halls.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the shimmering soundscapes of Britten’s settings of Rimbaud, where the soprano’s voice dances through some of the twentieth century’s most vivid poetry. The mood shifts for the finale as a suite of waltzes and romance from Strauss’s famous opera brings a lavish, decadent finish to your afternoon.
