Scottish Chamber Orchestra reviews
Mozart - Piano Concertos Nos 19 and 27, etc
Francesco Piemontesi (piano); Scottish Chamber Orchestra/Andrew Manze (Linn Records)
Bizet • Gounod: Carmen Suite, Petite Symphony, etc
Scottish Chamber Orchestra/François Leleux (Linn Records)
A fizzing performance of Bizet and Gounod
It bubbles along with infectious delight in the SCO’s hands – I could listen to them playing this all day – dazzling between wind and strings

Works by Brahms, Dvořák , Mendelssohn & Prokofiev
Scottish Chamber Orchestra/Joseph Swensen (Linn)
Brahms: The Symphonies (Ticciati)
These wonderfully fluid performances are a fitting testament to the highly productive nine-year partnership between conductor Robin Ticciati and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and they also draw our attention to the beauty and resourceful imagination of Brahms’s orchestration.
Schubert: Symphony No. 9 (SCO/Emelyanychev)
Scottish Chamber Orchestra/Maxim Emelyanychev (Linn)
Chrysalis: Corinne Morris
Corinne Morris has called her album ‘Chrysalis’ – in reference not only to her own enforced absence from the concert platform for several years owing to injury, but also to the fact that the two main pieces she’s chosen lay dormant for so long. These two concertos were, in fact, both 20th-century rediscoveries.
