Scottish Chamber Orchestra City Halls, Glasgow

Scotland is familiar with Christian Zacharias in the guise of both recitalist and conductor; however the opportunity to witness him in both roles within one concert is something of a novelty.

Zacharias presented two of Schubert’s monumental late works: the first half of the concert cast Zacharias as pianist, performing the composer’s D major Sonata D850, in the second he conducted the SCO in the so-called “Great” C major Symphony.
