LONDON PHILHARMONIC
ORCHESTRA
· Vladimir Jurowski is one of our day's most sought-after
conductors. In 2007 he was appointed Principal Conductor of
the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and since then many of
his recordings with the orchestra have been nominated for
special mentions and awards by Gramophone Magazine and
BBC Music Magazine.
·
The works on this release are from master of evocative
composition, Igor Stravinsky. The large-scale ballet,
Petrushka, which tells of the antics of a puppet which is
given the gift of life, showcase the composer's amazing
stylistic flexibility. His 1920 piece Symphonies of Wind
Instruments shows classical elegance and restraint. He
called the piece, "an austere ritual which is unfolded
in terms of short litanies between different groups of
homogenous instruments."
·
This release is the first all-Stravinsky album on the LPO
label. It is also the conductor's first recording of these works,
which were recorded from live concert performances at the
Royal Festival Hall in December 2014 and March 2015.
