Music review: Scottish Ensemble, Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh

One of the joys of a Scottish Ensemble concert, apart from the group’s infectious ebullience, is that their programmes make you think about music in a different way. In Mozart by Numbers, a duo, trio and quartet by the composer was juxtaposed with a modern equivalent for the same forces. But first, a solo from violinist Daniel Pioro. He set the scene with fluid double-stopping and ringing strings, in Caroline Shaw’s, In Manus tuas. This reframing of Bach, Tallis, with a nod to Pårt, traversed the old and new divides with panache.
