Mozart: Requiem in D minor, K626 [Levin Edition]

"The string lines carry all the expressive weight one could want, and the woodwind and brass have a sovereign authority."
The Guardian

Formed in 1974 with a commitment to serve the Scottish community, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra is one of Scotland 's foremost cultural ambassadors, touring regularly in the Far East, Europe and the USA . The Orchestra is internationally recognised for its innovative approach to music-making and programme planning. Its winter season includes concerts in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, St Andrews, Perth, Dumfries, Ayr and Inverness.

It also undertakes annual Highlands and South of Scotland tours and has played in over a hundred small communities across Scotland. It appears regularly at the Edinburgh International Festival, the BBC Proms and the St Magnus (Orkney) and Aldeburgh Festivals. Its busy international touring schedule has recently included the USA, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Sweden and Hong Kong.

The Orchestra enjoys close relationships with many leading composers and has commissioned more than eighty new works, including pieces by Composer Laureate Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, James MacMillan, Lyell Cresswell, Haflidi Hallgrímsson and Einojuhani Rautavaara. The SCO recently collaborated with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra in a four-year programme of joint commissions from Composers-in-Residence Sally Beamish and Karin Rehnqvist
