From Glasgow City Hall, Kirsteen McCue presents the first in a series of three concerts reflecting on the ferment of the traditional and modern in early 20th-century music. Much more than today, the threshold of the 20th century was seen as a time of enormous cultural upheaval and uncertainty, in music as well as in the other arts. The great final symphony of Anton Bruckner - unfinished at his death - seems both rooted in ancient tradition and full of new thinking about symphonic form. And Schoenberg's wonderful early masterpiece Verklarte Nacht is both a richly Romantic fin-de-siecle outpouring and a harbinger of modern harmony.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Yoav Talmi
