Audiences at tomorrow night's Glasgow performance of Mahler's Sixth Symphony will hear a very different piece from Edinburgh audiences at the Usher Hall on Friday. To paraphrase the late Eric Morecambe, both audiences will hear all the right notes, but not necessarily in the same order.
It's all part of a unique experiment by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra's musical director and chief conductor, Stéphane Denève, who is so intrigued by the century-old riddle surrounding the work – the discrepancy over which order the middle movements are to be played – that he has decided to put it to the practical test.
