Songs for a Summer night: the Scottish Ensemble's new concert series uses venues that make the most of the long days around the Summer Solstice
Scottish Ensemble The Scottish Ensemble has announced its Concerts for a Summer Night, a series of concerts around the Summer Solstice, 20 to 23 June 2022, when days are longest. The events have all been designed to use venues which make the most of the natural light, from atriums at Edinburgh's National Museum of Scotland, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Barras Art and Design in Glasgow, to a byre in Perthshire. Directed by Jonathan Morton, a 12-piece ensemble will play an eclectic programme including music by Purcell, Mozart, Schubert, Dvorak, William Grant Still and Victor Herbert. Dobrinka Tabakova's Spinning a Yarn (which features violin and hurdy-gurdy) will be paired with her arrangement of Schubert's song Gretchen am Spinnrade, and there is music by Hans Abrahamsen, Thomas Adès and Jessie Montgomery. Full details from the Scottish Ensemble website.

Marking 30 years since the composer's death, Wigglesworth's Messiaen performances during the season also include The Sermon to the Birds from Saint François D'Assise. Intriguingly, Wigglesworth is the first composer to direct the orchestra since its founder Ian Whyte, and in an interview with The Scotsman, Wigglesworth said, "My approach to conducting stems from being, first and foremost, a composer. I can only ever approach a work from that perspective: how the composer has put things together, how they did this or that. The flip side applies, too. By conducting the works […]

Hans Abrahamsen Schnee Lapland Chamber Orchestra, John Storgårds, conductor DaCapo This is the second recording of Hans Abrahamsen’s Schnee (‘Snow,’ 2008), an hourlong imaginative ensemble work populated by idiosyncratic canons interspersed with intermezzos. The first, by Ensemble Recherche in 2015, was an excellent document of the piece. That said, this second interpretation is welcome, […]
