Celebrate a decade of musical excellence with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski. This 7-disc box set, released in 2017, marks Jurowski's 10th anniversary with the orchestra and showcases a remarkable collection of performances that highlight the ensemble's versatility and artistry.
The album spans a wide range of genres, including classical, opera, and orchestral works, featuring compositions from renowned masters such as Brahms, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Rachmaninoff. From the hauntingly beautiful "La Peri" by Fokine to the dramatic intensity of Brahms' "A German Requiem," each track is a testament to the orchestra's exceptional skill and Jurowski's insightful conducting.
Highlights include the lush, pastoral scenes of Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé," the whimsical charm of "The Tale of the Buffoon," and the powerful, evocative "Night on a Bare Mountain." The set also features lesser-known gems like "The Eternal Gospel" and "St John of Damascus," offering a rich and diverse listening experience.
With a total runtime of over 7 hours, this collection is a comprehensive retrospective of Jurowski's tenure with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, capturing the essence of their collaborative journey.
