Venezuela’s extraordinary El Sistema is one of the most talkedabout phenomena in classical music; and conductor Rafael Payare is fast becoming one of its most talked-about graduates, combining a commanding musicianship with an energy and verve that prompted one critic to call him a “comet”. So he’s a wonderfully appropriate partner for the outstanding young American cellist Alisa Weilerstein. Their joint exploration of Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto will form the dark, haunted heart of a concert that begins with a brand new work by one of Scotland’s most inventive living composers, and ends with the grand passions and tender secrets of Dvořák’s most personal symphony.
