SCO, City Hall, Glasgow

IT'S a cruel fact of concert programming that it's almost always the odd man out who's the fall guy. Myriad concert programmes have been thrown askew by the inclusion of a work that doesn't fit the flavour, flow or pattern of the rest of the show, and which disrupts any coherence there might otherwise have been. Worse, it tends to be the outsider which commands the spotlight to the detriment of the rest of the programme.
