Maxim
Emelyanychev conductor
Philip Higham cello*
From a
daring maritime adventure to a captivating showcase for the soulful cello – in
the company of vibrant Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev and exceptional
SCO Principal Cello Philip Higham.
An
international soloist as well as a pivotal SCO musician, Philip Higham takes centre-stage’for the poetry and passion of
Schumann’s entrancing Cello Concerto, written in a two-week burst of
inspiration.
German
composer Jörg Widmann pays affectionate homage to Schumann in his witty Albumblätter,
receiving its first UK performances, while Debussy takes us dancing and sailing
in his charming Petite Suite. Mendelssohn weighs the anchor for more distant
shores, however, in his thrilling celebration of seafaring heroism.
