MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides MOZART Clarinet Concerto BEETHOVEN Symphony No 4 Gábor Káli conductor Maximiliano Martín clarinet Scottish Chamber Orchestra Spanish clarinettist Maximilliano Martín is a tour de force, never failing to inspire audiences in his dual career as SCO Principal Clarinet and in-demand international soloist. His effortless phrasing and mellifluous tone, demonstrated in celebrated recordings of the clarinet repertoire, are what will make this performance of Mozart’s famous Clarinet Concerto magical. Hungarian conductor Gábor Káli – winner of the prestigious 2018 Nestlé and Salzburg Festival Young Conductors Award – opens the concert with Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides, music inspired by the 19th century composer’s spectacular journey by steamer from Fort William to Tobermory. The unyielding energy of Beethoven’s playful Symphony No 4 makes for an exhilarating conclusion to the evening.
