The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra celebrates conductor Martyn Brabbins's 60th birthday in music by Vaughan Williams, Brahms and Elgar's Enigma Variations, from the Royal Albert Hall. Presented by Suzy Klein and Anna Meredith. Elgar's Enigma Variations is the inspiration for a new work commissioned from 14 living composers as a special birthday tribute to conductor Martyn Brabbins. Elgar's original set also features, as do Vaughan Williams's exquisite Serenade to Music and Brahms' Little Requiem, the Song of Destiny.
