BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Louise Alder, Soprano
Jennifer Johnston, Mezzo-Soprano
Stuart Jackson, Tenor
Neal Davis, Bass
RCS Voices (Timothy Dean, Chorus Master)
Thomas Dausgaard, Conductor.

Palestrina: Sicut Cervus (four-part motet)
Bach: Fugue in B flat minor, BWV 867 (arr. for string quintet by Beethoven) (Hess 38)
Handel: Coronation Anthem 'Zadok the Priest'
Gluck: Dance of the Scythians (Iphigénie en Tauride)
Mozart: Misericordias Domini, K222
Haydn: Symphony No. 70 in D major

Interval

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, 'Choral'.

Every performance of the Ninth is a major occasion, and with four exceptional soloists and the fresh voices of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, this will be a magnificent opening to the new season. But no revolution happens in isolation, and in a specially-conceived first half, Thomas Dausgaard introduces a season-long exploration of Composers' Roots with a journey into Beethoven's musical ancestry: from Haydn and Mozart back to Handel, Bach and the music of the Renaissance.
Thomas Dausgaard conducts the BBC SSO in Beethoven's Ninth.
