Claudio Abbado

During the past years, prominence has ‘been given in each Festival to the works of one or two composers. This policy will be continued for the Twentieth Edinburgh International Festival and the composers wilt be Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and Alban Berg (1885- 1935). The Wurttemberg State Opera will pay a \eturn visit to the Festival and its toire will include both operas by Berg. The orchestral and chamber con- carts, and the recitals, will feature the works of Schumann and Berg but will in. no way be confined to these eomposers. sn The Moscow Radio Orchestra, appearing for the first time in Great Britain, will open the series of their concerts with a Tchaikovsky Programme. Their sub- sequent concerts will include a number of works by Russian composers. Amongst these will be the first public perfor- mance in Britain of Prokoviev’s Cantata “ They are Seven.” For this work the Moscow Radio Orchestra will be joined by the Scottish Festival Chorus. The Scottish National Orchestra will give two concerts with the Scottish Festival Chorus. They will open the Festival ‘with performances of Britten's “Cantata Academica” and Tippett’s “A Child of Our Time.” In their second concert, they will repeat _the “performance Of Mahter’s~ Symphony which was. so outstandingly successful at the Opening Concert of last year's Festival.
