Edinburgh 70: Orchestra of La Scala, Milan

The Filarmonica della Scala perform Shostakovich, Enescu and Bartok at the Edinburgh International Festival.

Conductor Riccardo Chaillly brings the Filarmonica della Scala from Milan's great opera house to performing a concert programme featuring Shostakovich's remarkable 12th Symphony on the revolutionary events of 1917. The symphony received its Western premiere at the Edinburgh Festival in 1962. They are joined by the Lithuanian violinist and violist Julian Rachlin for Bartok's Viola Concerto, which was commissioned by Glasgow-born viola player William Primrose and the first movement makes fleeting reference to the Scottish melody 'Coming thro' the rye'.
