this Season is one of the most prestigious that we have ever
programmed. We’ve been working for over three years on its
creation: making arrangements for a superb cast of guest soloists
and conductors to join us in Scotland. I’m so proud of the world-class
line-up of artists who will share their music with us.
there are some threads that weave throughout the Season; themes
and links that knit together pieces and programmes. this year we will
be looking at music inspired by works of literature – from exotic tales
(Scheherazade, Firebird) to classic novels (Don Quixote, Candide),
and from epic stories (Peer Gynt, Tristan and Isolde, Taras Bulba) to
memorable poems (The Bells, and Wilfred owen’s war poetry).
I will continue to make my way through Mahler’s mighty symphonies
– this year we have reached the Sixth – and we will celebrate
the bicentenary of Schumann by offering a survey of all his four
symphonies with four different conductors.
towards the end of the Season in May, I’m thrilled to be conducting
my first War Requiem of Benjamin Britten, with a brilliant cast and
the superb RSno Choruses. I hope you will join us for what promises
to be a profound and moving experience.
So let us open up the story book together, and enter a world where
the only boundary is our own imagination!
Chaleureusement,
Stéphane Denève

the first half features two composers whose musical styles seemed half
in earnest, half in jest. Pastiche fuses brilliantly with heartfelt melody
in both Bernstein’s Candide and Strauss’ Concerto. Brahms’ First

heroic struggles through to its triumphant end.
