Smiling Heretic
Home after a magnificent concert by the #RSNO. Probably the finest performance since I moved here. Played #Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5, and friends I have to say it was the best interpretation I’ve heard in concert or in a recording. Eugene Ormandy would’ve been proud. So happy to be living here in #Glasgow and am feeling so fortunate to be living in a country with two of the finest orchestras I have ever known. (#BBCSSO being the other one). What a great night!
Stephen ChaseGreat to hear #AnthonyBraxton music on the radio - especially a big piece!

Surprising vivid clarity & direction, considering all the shifting layers of orchestra(s) and improvisers https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021pxw

Capercaillie with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - At The Heart Of It All (Official Video)
Patrick HadfieldRunnicles held the audience in what felt like minutes of silence, before lowering his baton and allowing us to applaud. The silence after music is important; it keeps the spell.
They played the programme in Glasgow on last week live on Radio 3, which means you can hear more or less the same performance. Though without my influence or applause.

I saw BBCSSO play Mahler 9 this afternoon, conducted by Donald Runnicles.
It was sublime. Just wonderful. I can't tell how much was down to Mahler, Runnicles, or the musicians in the large orchestra, but between them they made a glorious sound.
