Exhilarating choral splendours from across two centuries, with the magnificent SCO Chorus and an exceptional line-up of vocal soloists under the energetic direction of Maxim Emelyanychev.
A hymn of praise to the Creator, the Gloria brings you joy and life-affirming optimism whatever your beliefs. Vivaldi’s Gloria is one of the dazzling jewels of Baroque music – sunny, exuberant, and an all-embracing celebration of light and life. Poulenc’s Gloria blends Gallic wit and sophistication with its profound spiritual expression and is a captivating mix of the sacred and the playful.
To begin though, Poulenc unleashes zesty energy and musical mischief to celebrate French liberation after World War Two – his Sinfonietta is an outpouring of happiness, and the closest he came to writing a symphony.
