Dalia Stasevska & BBC Symphony Orchestra - Edinburgh International Festival: Orchestral Highlights 2021 - The Scotsman

The slimmed-down, socially distanced BBC Symphony Orchestra (gently amplified, but you’d hardly notice) sounded rich, detailed and thoroughly convincing in the immense space, nowhere more so than in Anna Clyne’s PIVOT, the concert’s exuberant, sometimes raucous opener, which felt like a fittingly joyful explosion of energy at the return to live events. Conductor Dalia Stasevska kept Clyne’s frenetic creation under tight control.
