2017留聲機雜誌年度最佳音樂家~佩特連科指揮皇家利物浦愛樂管弦樂團發燒片系列 / 艾爾加:海景,創樂者,威風凜凜進行曲

Vasily Petrenko於2006年開始在皇家利物浦愛樂管弦樂團擔任首席指揮(於2009年成為總監.2020年成為桂冠指揮).帶領該樂團將近20年,使之成為世界頂尖的一流樂團.並於2017年獲得留聲機大獎的肯定,評選為該年度的最佳音樂家.他在ONYX唱片公司的錄音中,率領皇家利物浦愛樂管弦樂團錄製了一張張極為發燒的發燒名盤.
本專輯收錄艾爾加的三首作品,分別是海景,創樂者,威風凜凜進行曲.其中海景一曲由次女高音Kathryn Rudge擔綱.非常完美的一段演唱.
 
Vasily Petrenko and the RLPO continue their critically acclaimed Elgar project with Sea Pictures and The Music Makers, with Kathryn Rudge as soloist. Sea Pictures is one of the composer’s most popular works and as an orchestral song cycle stands alongside those by Mahler and Strauss. The Music Makers however has had a more troubled history. Elgar had worked on it on and off from 1903 and it was premiered in 1912. Both words and music came in for criticism. Elgar quotes from his symphonies, and ‘Nimrod’ as well as other sources. It can be viewed in the same way as ‘Ein Heldenleben’’ though here the composer is not a hero, but a bard.
