Summary

Stefano Boccacci leads the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at The Corran Halls, featuring horn soloist Chris Gough in Mozart alongside works by Britten, Vaughan Williams and Beethoven.

Why it's fantastic

Mozart’s fourth horn concerto is the perfect introduction to the brass section, featuring the playful, galloping hunt themes that most listeners will recognise instantly. It sits alongside Beethoven’s upbeat fourth symphony, a work that swaps heavy drama for a light, rhythmic energy that feels particularly suited to this intimate touring scale.
