Presented by Martin Handley.

From Glasgow City Halls the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under its Principal Conductor, Robin Ticciati, with a rich programme including two pieces written by Haydn for London, which appear as book ends: first, his Scena di Berenice, an opera scene for soprano and orchestra, performed here by Sally Matthews; the other is his Symphony No. 96 'Miracle' one of the 12 he wrote with Londoners in mind. Stravinsky's music for the chamber ballet Apollon musagete is scored for strings alone and the apogee of his Neo-Classical style while Colin Matthews's orchestration of Gabriel Faure's Melodies is a world premiere with Sally Matthews returning to perform them.
