The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra with music by Grażyna Bacewicz, Glazunov's Violin Concerto, Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and works by Gablenz and Paderewski.

To start this week, devoted to repertoire performed recently by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, a work that has been deemed as Grażyna Bacewicz's opus magnum, her Concerto for string orchestra written in 1948, conducted by Miguel Harth-Bedoya. It's followed by Glazunov's violin concerto in A minor, with Kristof Barati as soloist. Then comes another masterpiece, Schubert's Symphony No. 8, Unfinished, with the ensemble under the baton of Kevin John Edusei. The afternoon returns to the Polish flavour that started the programme as Lukasz Borowicz conducts music from his fatherland: first, Jerzy Gablenz's Piano Concerto in D‑flat Major, with soloist Jonathan Plowright, and then Ignacy Jan Paderewski's Fantaisie Polonaise, Op.19.
