Performance NotesDonald Runnicles and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra are joined by the National Youth Choir of Scotland for Mozart's ever-popular Requiem – the composer's poignant and prescient anticipation of his own death.

Scottish composer John McLeod's The Sun Dances is a glowing, iridescent work inspired by an Easter folk legend from the West of Scotland.

At the centre of the programme is Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, its muscular, structural elegance wound around a boisterous scherzo.

London premiere of 'The Sun Dances', John McLeod.

The concert was recorded and broadcast on BBC Four on 7 August 2014.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
