Description
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko offer here the third and final release in a series of recordings of Richard Strauss's orchestral music. On this CD the listener is presented with the tone poems "Eine Alpensinfonie" and "Tod und Verklärung", works that long have been part of the Oslo Philharmonic's repertoire.
Vasily Petrenko, who has been the orchestra's chief conductor since 2013, takes full advantage of the Philharmonic's distinctive style in the performance of this exciting and virtuosic music.
The Oslo Philharmonic, under the baton of chief conductor Petrenko, reaped glowing reviews in Norway and abroad for its first and second recording in this Strauss series (LWC1166, "Also Sprach Zarathustra / Ein Heldenleben" and LWC1184, "Don Quixote, Op. 35 / Don Juan, Op. 20 / Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, Op. 28"). The first release was also selected as "Editor's Choice" by Gramophone Magazine.
Both previous releases in this series were selected as "Editor's Choice" by Gramophone Magazine and were universally critically acclaimed:
Gramophone August 2019: "There's no lack of excitement or, where needed, bombast, and the Osloers' sound at full throttle is thrilling, their playing superb."
Sunday Times April 2019: "As Petrenko's tenure in Oslo begins to wind down, he revels in the standards of orchestral virtuosity he has attained with this excellent band in two Strauss tone poems that challenge all instrumental departments...the Osloers shine brilliantly."
