PETRENKO OG OSLO-FILHARMONIEN FULLFØRER SIN STRAUSS-SYKLUS
Oslo-Filharmonien og Vasily Petrenko presenterer den tredje og siste utgivelsen i serien med innspillinger av Richard Strauss’ orkestermusikk. På denne CD-en får vi høre tonediktene «Eine Alpensinfonie», Op. 64 og «Tod und Verklärung», Op. 24.
Oslo-Filharmonien, med sjefdirigent Petrenko, høstet fantastiske kritikker i inn- og utland for de første to innspillingene i denne Strauss-serien, LWC1166 («Also sprach Zarathustra» og «Ein Heldenleben») og LWC1184 («Don Quixote», «Don Juan» og «Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche»). Begge utgivelsene ble i tillegg kåret til «Editor’s Choice» i musikkmagasinet Gramophone!
Vasily Petrenko er en av de mest signifikante musikerne av i dag, og han har høstet mye ros og vunnet priser for sine innspillinger av det russiske repertoaret, bl.a. to Gramophone Awards. Med Oslo-Filharmonien har han spilt inn verker av Sjostakovitsj, Szymanowski, Strauss og Prokofjev, i tillegg til en stor syklus med orkesterverker av Aleksandr Skrjabin.
Oslo-Filharmonien så dagens lys i 1919, og i løpet av det neste halve hundreåret vokste orkestrets renommé jevnt og trutt. I 1979 overtok Mariss Jansons dirigentstaven, og under hans ledelse nådde OFO sitt fulle potensiale som en verdig konkurrent til de store filharmoniske orkestrene i Wien, Berlin og New York.
PETRENKO AND THE OSLO PHILHARMONIC CONCLUDE THEIR STRAUSS CYCLE
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko offer the third and last release in the series of recordings of Richard Strauss’s orchestral music. On this CD the listener is presented with the tone poems “Eine Alpensinfonie”, Op. 64 and “Tod und Verklärung”, Op. 24.
The Oslo Philharmonic, under the baton of chief conductor Petrenko, reaped glowing reviews in Norway and abroad for their first two recording in this Strauss series: LWC1166 (“Also Sprach Zarathustra” and “Ein Heldenleben”) and LWC1184 (“Don Quixote”, “Don Juan” and “Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche”). Both releases were selected as “Editor’s Choice” by Gramophone Magazine!
Vasily Petrenko is one of the most significant figures on the classical music scene today, and he has won numerous accolades for his recordings of the Russian repertoire, including two Gramophone Awards. With Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra he has recorded works of Shostakovich, Szymanowski, Strauss and Prokofiev, as well as a large cycle of orchestral works of Alexander Scriabin.
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra first saw the light of day in 1919, and over the next half-century the orchestra’s reputation grew steadily. In 1979 the conductor’s baton passed to Mariss Jansons, and under his leadership Oslo Philharmonic achieved its full potential and became a rival to the great philharmonic orchestras of Vienna, Berlin and New York.
ANMELDELSER/REVIEWS
"Petrenko’s is a vivid realisation of these various states, the Oslo Phil responsive to the moods and their swings. [...] If Petrenko is more scenic than probing, with the Oslo Phil in top form and sound-quality that marries natural space (not least for the off-stage horns, Strauss so extravagant), clarity and a wide dynamic range, this is a recommendable version in terms of atmosphere and suggestion, not least the climber being intimidated by the height to be conquered, making the arrival at the Summit all the more significant. Downwards, the Storm is of elemental vibrancy and later eloquences are not glossed over. [...] I am nevertheless pleased to have Petrenko’s considered view of and from the mountain. Peak listening on Lawo Classics LWC1192." Colin Anderson, Classical Source, 26.04.2020
"[...] Again, Petrenko is alert to detail here, but also the essential trajectory of Strauss’ story-telling arc. Highly recommended." Nicks Classical Notes, 13.07.2020
