Summary
Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in a programme featuring works by Varèse, Bartók and Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Expect a vivid shift in mood, moving from the eerie, nocturnal tension used in The Shining to a finale filled with lush, Russian nostalgia. It is a brilliant showcase of orchestral power that balances experimental mystery with the kind of soaring, romantic melodies that stay with you long after the lights come up.
