Live Performance Review: Scottish Chamber Orchestra performing Beethoven Prometheus (Edinburgh International Festival (E.I.F.) 2013), Sunday 25.08.2012 19:30 The Usher Hall, Edinburgh 

Beethoven's Creatures of Prometheus was preceded before the break by Hayden's Symphony No. 104 'London'. Both pieces sounded to be very well performed and I greatly enjoyed.

I was surprised to see a lot of empty seats to start with and even for for the Beethoven. I also did not understand why the audiences lights were dimmed in the first half though not the second. I also had a sense of there being something lacking even though the music sounded great, and I'm not sure what that may have been.

Rating: 08/10.
