The RSNO, Catriona Morison and Thomas Sondergard in Grieg, Ravel and Rachmaninov

Grieg, Ravel and Rachmaninov with mezzo soprano Catriona Morison, Thomas Sondergard and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Newly appointed Music Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Thomas Sondergard begins this evening鈥檚 concert with Grieg鈥檚 Peer Gynt Suites 1 & 2, before former Cardiff singer of the world winner and Radio 3 New Generation Artist Catriona Morison joins them to perform Ravel's exotic orchestral song cycle Sheherazade. The concert closes with Rachmaninov鈥檚 hugely ambitious and passionate First Symphony that he believed 鈥榦pened up entirely new paths鈥�. It was dedicated rather enigmatically to' A.L' thought to be Anna Lod茂zhenskaya, the wife of a friend and it shares the biblical quotation 'Vengeance is mine, I shall repay' which was also used to preface Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. We can only speculate as to what if anything was the relationship between the composer and this Anna.
