About This Item
This marks the 29th on the LPO tag conducted by Vladimir Jurowski, and is the first Jurowski-conducted Richard Strauss to date. Vladimir Jurowski has a strong affinity with Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman Without a Shadow), and chose to conduct a selection of orchestral highlights from the opera rather than the composer's own published Fantasie. He went on to conduct the complete opera at the Metropolitan Opera in 2013. InchIf the evening can boast a hero, the honor must go to Vladimir Jurowski, who conducts with abiding passion, sensitivity and propulsion.Inch (The Financial Times) The performances of the three works on this were also critically well received, with the soloists within the Orchestra noted for their 'poise' and 'exquisite handling' of Die Frau ohne Schatten and Jurowski's 'perfect blending of rich textures' in Eine Alpensinfonie. The Dance of the Seven Veils was performed as part of the opening concert of the London Philharmonic Orchestra's critically acclaimed The Rest is Noise festival of music which shaped the twentieth century. InchJurowski and the LPO set the scene with an outstandingly delicate performance of the Dance of the Seven Veils.Inch (The Financial Times) Album Tracks 1. Nacht 2. Sonnenaufgang 3. Der Anstieg 4.
