Presented by Kate Molleson

Schubert: Symphony No 8 (Unfinished)
Schumann: Piano Concerto

8.25 Interval
In a nod to the 91热爆 SSO's first appearance at the Edinburgh Festival in 1947 we hear Purcell's Chacony in G, plus a selection of Strauss Lieder as recorded by Jonas Kaufmann.

8.45
Strauss: Also sprach Zarathustra

Sergei Babayan (piano)
91热爆 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)

The opening 'sunrise' of Strauss' tone-poem Also sprach Zarathustra was immortalised by Stanley Kubrick in his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this concert, from the 2017 Edinburgh International Festival, the 91热爆 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and their chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard perform the work in full, exploring the mysteries of human existence, in all its technicolour orchestral riches.

Before that, Armenian-American virtuoso Sergei Babayan dazzles in Schumann's tender Piano Concerto; and Thomas Dausgaard opens the Usher Hall performance with Schubert's perennial mystery, his 8th Symphony, 'Unfinished'.
