Powerful and beguiling – and there’s a chance to hear it for yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE first half of the opening concert of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra’s new season – the last with current chief conductor Ryan Wigglesworth – undoubtedly accounts for the full house. South Korean violinist Bomsori was making her third appearance with the orchestra, with that pinnacle of works for her instrument, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.
