Summary
Anna Sułkowska-Migoń leads the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, featuring pianist Rafał Blechacz in Chopin’s First Concerto alongside works by Bacewicz, Musgrave and Mussorgsky.
Why it's fantastic
Skip the usual polish for something far more characterful, moving from Chopin’s elegant, flowing piano melodies to the monumental brass fanfares of the Great Gate of Kiev. It is a brilliant chance to hear Thea Musgrave’s musical portrait of the nearby loch before Ravel’s famous orchestration brings a gallery of paintings to life.
