John Adams: City Noir
City Halls
Glasgow
Scotland

Tickets: £11-£24
James Ehnes violin
Donald Runnicles conductor
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

It's one of the most talked-about new scores of recent years. And there's absolutely nothing minimal about John Adams's City Noir, a sassy, bluesy symphony of Los Angeles, inspired by classic movies and scored for a Mahler-size orchestra. This is music that demands to be heard, and Donald Runnicles has set it alongside the dazzling rightness of Beethoven's headlong Fourth Symphony and the ominous twilight of Shostakovich's tormented First Violin Concerto, performed here by James Ehnes - whose "indelible, intellectually gripping" Shostakovich performances have left critics reeling. Three masterworks from three centuries, each speaking to the other - and, more importantly, to us: right here and right now.

Ludwig Van Beethoven : Symphony No.4
Dmitri Shostakovich : Violin Concerto No.1
