About

The first in a series of orchestral works and concertos by Rachmaninov, featuring the Symphonic Dances and the symphonic poems Isle of the Dead and The Rock.

Avie’s fruitful association with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra yields its tenth release, and the third with Vasily Petrenko, a
native of St. Petersburg and the youngest Music Director in the RLPO’s illustrious history. He was also winner of the Classic FM/Gramophone Young Artist of the Year award in 2007.

Critical acclaim:
The Liverpudlians could easily be mistaken for a crack Russian orchestra – the key ingredient is the commitment of the playing, the sense of an orchestra at its peak.” – Financial Times

Everybody wants Vasily Petrenko, the blond, galvanising young Russian who, in two years as principal conductor, has transformed the artistic profile of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Feel that crackle of electricity...the orchestra’s ensemble spirit is so tight that you could cut yourself on the music’s edges.” – The Times
