Imagine...glorious tunes in an enchanting ballet score for a timeless fairy tale.
Sir Mark Elder is more than just one of the world鈥檚 most respected conductors; he鈥檚 an artist who lives every minute of the music. 鈥淗e coaxed a gorgeous sound from the musicians of the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra鈥� wrote The Times in 2022. And it鈥檚 true - Elder has a lifetime鈥檚 understanding of what makes an orchestra glow. Under his direction, this sumptuous, gloriously tuneful selection from Tchaikovsky鈥檚 greatest ballet score would be a treat in itself, but with Elder there鈥檚 always a bigger picture and a colourful rarity by Sibelius is merely the upbeat to Prokofiev鈥檚 ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Music from a time of revolution, played by a pianist as fearless as Elder himself.
