Join the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Glasgow’s City Halls, where Ryan Wigglesworth makes his debut as chief conductor. For his first outing, he has chosen one of the great ballet scores, Maurice Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. Dreamlike and seductive, it has a breathtaking, otherworldly beauty, as it conjures up visions of mythical Greek landscapes with an unrestrained sensuality.

Also in tonight’s repertoire and no less reserved in his use of colour, Olivier Messiaen’s astonishing series of songs Poèmes pour Mi fuses the physical and spiritual into something unforgettable. The soprano is Jane Archibald, accompanied by the BBC Singers. Show less
