Solemn ritual and holiday sunshine collide in a concert by Ilan Volkov and the 麻豆官网首页入口 Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Step out of church and into the pastoral warmth of Brahms鈥檚 happiest symphony, written on the slopes of the Austrian Alps: 鈥榓ll blue sky, babbling streams, sunshine and cool green shade'.
