Scottish Chamber Orchestra

We have come to expect startling adventures every time our Associate Artist Richard Egarr is in town, and this programme will doubtless be no exception.

We may not be familiar with the name Etienne Méhul as his scores were lost for many years but, as Paris’ answer to Mozart and Haydn, Beethoven thought highly of his French contemporary. Egarr agrees, reasoning that Méhul’s stormy First Symphony “deserves a much higher status in 19th century music history”.
