Summary
Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Walton’s Cello Concerto with soloist Laura van der Heijden and Holst’s The Planets at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.
Why it's fantastic
You likely know the thundering rhythm of Mars or the big-hearted melody of Jupiter, but hearing them live reveals the true scale of this cosmic suite. Before the final fade into silence, enjoy the restless energy of Walton’s concerto, played by a cellist known for her poise and technical grace.
