Shostakovich: The Complete Symphonies

PETRENKO JAMES VINOGRADOV HUDDERSFIELD CHORAL SOCIETY ROYAL LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC CHOIR ROYAL LIVERPOOL PHILHARMON

Each release of Vasily Petrenko’s complete Shostakovich symphony cycle with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic created a sensation between volume 1 in 2009 and the final installment in 2014. The individual recordings remain leading choices amongst collectors and critics, with, for instance, the Eighth Symphony (8.572392) selected as a top recommendation by BBC Radio 3’s ‘Building a Library’ program (November 2013). Mr. Petrenko was appointed principal conductor of the RLPO in 2006, becoming its chief conductor in 2009, a position he similarly holds with the Oslo Philharmonic. In addition, this Classical BRIT Awards Male Artist of the Year 2010/2012 regularly works as well with many of the world’s finest orchestras. Other recordings with the RLPO include Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony [Naxos 8.570568] (2009 Classic FM/Gramophone Orchestral Recording of the Year) and other orchestral works, Elgar’s Symphony No. 1 and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances, Symphonies and complete Piano Concertos. “Petrenko and the RLPO have achieved a triumph. The orchestral playing is ripe, detailed, lithe, concentrated and intense.” (The Telegraph on Symphony No. 10) “The final installment of Petrenko’s remarkable Liverpool Shostakovich cycle is a world-class achievement.” (The Sunday Times on Symphony No. 13)
