Maestro 5 - Stephen Hough & Scheherazade
Stephen Hough is a super-virtuoso with a reputation for championing technically difficult works like Tchaikovsky’s Concert Fantasy for piano and orchestra. Hough is an alchemist who turns every piece he plays, from the miniature to the monumental, into pure gold.
Dynamic Maestro Marko Letonja and The Queensland Orchestra will entrance you with the sumptuous orchestration and kaleidoscopic colours in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, just as Scheherazade herself charmed the cruel Sultan for 1001 nights.
