Product Description

Vasily Petrenko is recognised as one the leading Elgarians of our time and his interpretations of the two completed symphonies with the RLPO have earned praise worldwide from public and critics alike. This CD is the first in a series for ONYX that will contain both symphonies and the other major orchestral works, plus some of the delightful miniatures. Here, the First Symphony is preceded by the sparkling concert overture Cockaigne from 1901, composed at a time when the symphony was preoccupying the composer and he was toying with the idea of a work based on the life of General Gordon of Khartoum. This project was abandoned, and the First Symphony was composed in 1907-8 and premiered to great acclaim with over 100 performances in its first year.

Review

**** The Symphony No 1... is given both monumental weight and graced with individual playing of character and loveliness, the woodwind particularly splendid' --Claudia Pritchard - Independent on Sunday, 15th February 2015

**** 'The RLPO plays with clarity of texture, a fullness and glow of tone, well-honed emotion and springy muscle together with a marked appreciation of Elgar s thoroughly personal palette of orchestral timbres' Geoffrey Norris Daily Telegraph, 14th February 2015 ----- 'seriously beautiful playing from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko … the recording captures it beautifully as well' --Andrew McGregor BBC Radio 3 CD Review, 2nd May 2015

'This is a taut, sensitive account … The finale is grand, released and ultimately triumphant, making the most of the sonorities of an orchestra which has gone from strength to strength. Indeed the playing of the RLPO is extraordinarily fine throughout, as is the sound given to them ... Petrenko seems wholly at home in the Elgarian idiom.' --Ralph Moore Music Web International, 23rd March 2015
