Presented by Jamie MacDougall

Two masters of music in twentieth-century France: Debussy and Messiaen. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is joined by Jun Märkl, a German conductor with considerable renown for performances of French repertoire.

The concert opens with Les offrandes oubliées, a work which although written in 1930, early in Messiaen's career, already displays his deep spirituality and bold musical language. This is followed by his first song cycle Poèmes pour Mi -performed by soprano Gweneth-Ann Jeffers- itself a deeply personal work dedicated to Messiaen's first wife.

The concert concludes with Debussy's colourful orchestral masterpiece, Images. Consisting of three atmospheric sections Debussy draws on folk music from England, France and Spain amidst shimmering and exotic orchestral textures to create musical portraits infused with dance, ranging from 'The Streets and By-ways' of Ibéria to the 'Dances of Spring.'
