Summary
Edward Gardner conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at Caird Hall in Sibelius’s First Symphony, featuring mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor and BSL performer Paul Whittaker in Berlioz and Bonis.
Why it's fantastic
Witness the dramatic final moments of an Egyptian queen in Berlioz’s intense musical portrait, brought to life by mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor. The evening closes with Sibelius’s first symphony, a work that channels the icy, sprawling landscapes of the north through massive orchestral swells and hauntingly beautiful melodies.
