Solemn ritual and holiday sunshine collide in a concert by Ilan Volkov and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The incense-scented processional splendour of Gabrieli’s 'In ecclesiis' and 'Canzone a tre core', transcribed with contemporary clarity by Bruno Maderna, frame Stravinsky’s last major work – the ‘pocket-requiem’ he knew he was ‘writing for himself’. Step out of church and into the pastoral warmth of Brahms’s happiest symphony, written on the slopes of the Austrian Alps: ‘all blue sky, babbling streams, sunshine and cool green shade'.
