Franghiz Ali-Zadeh Nagillar
Elgar Violin Concerto
Stravinsky The Firebird
Kirill Karabits Conductor
Nicola Benedetti Violin
Scotland’s best-loved classical violinist, Nicola Benedetti, joins Scotland’s National Orchestra for Elgar’s lyrical Violin Concerto. Her performance is the big, passionate heart of a concert that begins with a garland of musical fairy tales from Azerbaijan (a special favourite of conductor Kirill Karabits) and ends amid the dark magic and glittering romance of Stravinsky’s great ballet The Firebird. Music doesn’t get more colourful.
