Easter Music

Celebrating Scotland鈥檚 classical world, Jamie MacDougall highlights the work of the 麻豆约拍 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in concert alongside other Scottish artists and ensembles.

Jamie marks Easter Sunday with Bach鈥檚 Magnificat, his musical telling of the story of Mary in the Bible, performed in a live recording by the 麻豆约拍 Singers with the 麻豆约拍 SSO and Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth. Ahead of his appearance with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, we hear Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe in music from his acclaimed album Soft/Loud. Finnish violin superstar Pekka Kuusisto joins British tenor Allan Clayton and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Glasgow鈥檚 City Halls to perform Les Illuminations by Benjamin Britten, plus an Easter classic, Handel鈥檚 famous Messiah in a recording from the Dunedin Consort that won Baroque Vocal album of year at the Grammophone Awards.
