Review RSNO returned with a concert that sought to do more than soothe, plus the best of January’s concerts 4/5 A new piece by British composer Errollyn Wallen, Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lieder and Dvořák’s New World Symphony opened the year for RSNO 16 January 2021 • 12:42pm Errollyn Wallen's new piece Mighty River is more than just a curtain-raiser Royal Scottish National Orchestra, RSNO Centre ★★★★☆ Small-scale, consoling, with a touch of escapism – that’s been the tone of a number of online orchestral concerts I’ve heard lately. You can see why orchestras would want to strike that tone during a lockdown, when we could all do with some soothing.
