On February 15 Alma’s Songs Without Words by Roxanna Panufnik, commissioned by the BBC, receives its UK premiere with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Glasgow City Halls conducted by Ludovic Morlot.
In each of the three songs, Hymne, Ansturm and Hymne an die nacht, a different section of the orchestra takes the role of the voice. The sudden changes of expression in the original songs are taken to the orchestral extreme.
