Spare us Lebrecht's Scottish fantasia
John Purser's book seen above tells the story of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (BBCSSO) from 1935 to 1987, and covers in detail the attempt in 1980 by the BBC's London management to disband the orchestra. The story of how that decision was overturned following a strike by all the BBC orchestras and support from leading musicians including Colin Davis, Pierre Boulez and Carlo Maria Giulini has been told here before. Over the years I have also recounted how, when I lived in Scotland during the 1980s, the BBCSSO played its heart out for its Stirling audiences at the Macrobert Arts Centre. Among the memorable performances I heard there was a Sibelius Sixth Symphony with Charles Groves, a Walton Viola Concert with a very young Nigel Kennedy and Mahler's First Symphony, conducted, if my memory is correct, by Jerzy Maksymiuk.

[…] a young Richard Hickox. But the mystery of the conductor, what he did – and it almost always was a he when I was growing up in Glasgow – and what effect the somehow significant semaphore that the baton carved in the air had on the musicians was almost as powerful a phenomenon as the music itself. That was because the music seemed to flow through this person, through Hickox or Neeme Järvi, through Jerzy Maksymiuk or Jukka-Pekka Saraste, into the musicians, and then into the audience. After actually composing it, being a conductor seemed like the most direct route to embodying the music that I was obsessed by, to becoming one with it.At least, that's what it felt like to me in my bedroom where, to my mute audience of CDs and books, I did my best impressions of what I thought Herbert von Karajan and Arturo Toscanini must […]
