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
Experience the raw power of a young Jean Sibelius finding his voice in a first symphony that channels the icy, rugged landscapes of the north. You also get to hear Beth Taylor portray the dramatic downfall of an Egyptian queen in a bold, operatic scene that shocked the Parisian musical establishment.
