Knussen and Ryan Wigglesworth from the 91Èȱ¬ SSO

Ivan Hewett presents a programme juxtaposing contemporary classics by Oliver Knussen with more recent works by Ryan Wigglesworth performed by the 91Èȱ¬ Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Ivan Hewett presents a programme which juxtaposes contemporary 'classics' by Oliver Knussen with more recent works by Ryan Wigglesworth. The works tonight were inspired by, amongst many other things, the mysterious puzzle canons of a sixteenth century composer, Frederick Leighton's picture Orpheus and Eurydice, a libretto by Maurice Sendak and the lyric capabilities of the violin.
