Music review: The RSNO & Elim Chan, Usher Hall, Edinburgh

In her first concert as the RSNO’s principal guest conductor, Elim Chan sprinkled some magic over a disparate programme of French, Polish and Russian music. For anyone brought up on Disney’s Fantasia, the image of Mickey Mouse and those self-replicating broomsticks will forever be associated with The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas. Chan kept the swirling percussive textures light in this piece as the puttering bassoons played the familiar tune with character and panache.
