Haydn: Scena di Berenice
Stravinsky: Apollon Musagète
Fauré (orch. C Matthews): Melodies World premiere SCO commission
Haydn: Symphony No 96 ‘Miracle’

Robin Ticciati, conductor; Sally Matthews, soprano

A heart-warming richness gives Sally Matthews’ voice the special star quality that makes her the soprano of choice for maestros the world over. With Ticciati, she brings Haydn’s scena – a touch of operatic high drama to match Stravinsky’s dance – then follows it with Fauré’s heartbreaking, melancholy songs in new orchestrations from Colin Matthews commissioned by the SCO. As for the Haydn ... the name says it all: truly, this symphony is a miracle – one of his very finest.

Pre-Concert Talk: 6.30pm (Free to ticket holders). Robin Ticciati in conversation with Svend Brown about Stravinsky’s ballet music.
