A RADIANT musical dawn made for a wonderfully appropriate – and sonically resplendent – opening to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s new concert season. It came in the form of Nielsen’s Helios Overture, given a stylish, sharply defined account under returning guest conductor Enrique Mazzola – a performance that had all the warmth and caressing energy of the sun’s rays (even if the SCO strings occasionally sounded a little overpowered by the luminous horns and brass).
