In the introduction of the Scottish Symphony’s first movement the mood is at once positive and purposeful, and the music moves forward with a strong cumulative feeling,.. while the Adagio is adorned by the most tender, lovingly shaped phrasing…..and I was particularly impressed by the excellently managed coda.
