Edinburgh 70: Mariinsky Orchestra, RSNO, Gergiev

Two of the world's finest orchestras combine in a concert from the Edinburgh International Festival, the Mariinsky Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Two of the world's finest orchestras combine in this evening's concert from the Usher Hall, recorded last month during the Edinburgh International Festival. Russian conductor Valery Gergiev leads each in turn. His own Mariinsky Orchestra begins with Prokofiev's first symphony, the 'Classical', and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra performs Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, Britten's tribute to his former teacher. After the interval the orchestras join forces for Shostakovich's mighty Fourth Symphony, a work of gargantuan force and proportion.
