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
Edward Gardner leads a programme centred on high drama and Finnish grandeur, featuring Berlioz’s vivid portrait of Egypt’s final queen. It is an ideal introduction to the symphony, ending with Sibelius’s first major masterpiece which builds from a lonely solo clarinet into a sweeping, romantic surge of sound.
