BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - Various performances (2020) (1280x720p HD, 50fps)

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of Europe's leading orchestras and regularly broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Television.

Isata Kanneh-Mason Plays Beethoven
The spirit of Mozart graces Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto - but its drama and passion are all Ludwig's own. Here the outstanding Isata Kanneh-Mason guides us through its world of light and shade. Before that, journey through overlooked corners of America's musical landscape: from the dissonance of Carl Ruggles, via an intense miniature from firebrand Ruth Crawford Seeger, to the wit and energy of Julia Perry, ending with a work written by Alvin Singleton in memory of his sister. /  / The concert will be presented by Jamie MacDougall.

Tunes for Tots: In the Forest
Come with us on a musical journey into the forest - without leaving home! Created for young children, their parents, carers, and siblings, this half-hour online event will bring out the musical side of everyone. Listen, as the sounds of the forest inspire us to sing, dance and create music. Wrap up warm and pretend you're outside or stay in your pyjamas and have fun. /  / Tunes for Tots: In the Forest is produced by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and presented by its Associate Artist, Lucy Drever.

Steven Isserlis Plays Schumann
Live from City Halls, Glasgow. /  / Elfrida Andrée was the organist at Gothenburg Cathedral for much of her life and her tuneful overture opens this concert under rising conductor Chloé van Soeterstède. Mozart, too, was (reluctantly) employed as an organist when he wrote his exuberant Symphony No.34 and there's more helter-skelter fun to be had in Sally Beamish's 'Reckless'. But the beating heart of this concert is Schumann's soulful Cello Concerto in the masterly hands of Steven Isserlis.

Adams and Schumann
he BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Jessica Cottis pair John Adams's minimalist masterpiece 'Shaker Loops' with Schumann's Second Symphony in a concert broadcast live from City Halls, Glasgow. /  / A study in musical energy, John Adams' 1978 piece for strings 'Shaker Loops' generates waves and oscillations of sound from the simplest of materials. Schumann's Second Symphony, published in 1847, creates its own 19th century energies from the twists and turns of its musical counterpoints. / And this concert opens with a dynamic fanfare. Part rebuke, part tribute, the influential American composer Joan Tower's Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman No 1 was written as a rejoinder to the male-dominated music scene of the 1960s, and a spirited salute to the inspiration of risk-taking women.

Stravinsky and Schreker
Schreker's Chamber Symphony is as heady as music gets: a lush, soaring, glistening wonder, sounding like fin-de siècle Vienna but written during the Great War. Sir Mark Elder makes his first appearance with the BBC SSO since 1995 and opens this concert with the first of Bach's famous Brandenburg Concertos. Stravinsky is our stepping stone between centuries in the shape of ballet music that looks back to Bach, written in exile in the Hollywood hills.
