Summary
Jörg Widmann conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Aberdeen's Music Hall, doubling as soloist for his own Danse macabre and a Mendelssohn arrangement before the Scottish Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Jörg Widmann doubles as both conductor and clarinet soloist, bringing a rare energy to this evening of German masterpieces. The programme ends with Mendelssohn’s famous tribute to the rugged beauty of the Highlands, a piece composed right here in Scotland that remains one of the greatest travelogues in music.
