The Voyevoda (Symphonic Ballad after Mickiewicz), Op. 78
Vasily Petrenko conductor
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra
WINNER of 'Orchestra Recording of the Year' at the Classic FM Gramophone Awards 2009.
Number 9 in the Classical Music Chart for the week 19 - 25 October 2009.
Vasily Petrenko's third recording with the RLPO, Tchaikovsky's Op. 58 is an epic programmatic symphony which epitomises the composer's romantic and passionate style.
Composed between the Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, and based on the Byron poem of the same title, the four-movement work requires a large orchestra and makes use of Berlioz's technique of an idée fixe - a theme recurring throughout the work.
"The Manfred symphony gives the RLP a chance to brood in style, especially in the lower registers, before rising to inspired dramatic heights"

The Times Review
'Feel that crackle of electricity. Listen to the woodwinds’ bright dexterity in the water sprays of the second movement, the strings’ ravishingly controlled pianissimo at the movement’s close, or the fat confidence of the brass. Throughout, the orchestra’s ensemble spirit is so tight that you could cut yourself on the music’s edges.'
