Summary
Ilan Volkov conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony at Glasgow City Halls, alongside works by Takemitsu and Fujikura featuring soloists Akiko Suwanai and Adam Walker.
Why it's fantastic
The main attraction here is Beethoven’s rhythmic powerhouse of a symphony, famously featured in the climactic speech of The King’s Speech. Before that high-energy finale, you can settle into the delicate, atmospheric soundscapes of Toru Takemitsu and a rare double concerto featuring two world-class soloists on flute and violin.
