Description:
The Armenian-Venezuelan conductor, Domingo Indoyan & the RLPO! ONYX has previously released a collection of French orchestral works, Symphony No. 6 by Latin Grammy-winning composer Roberto Sierra, a collection of preludes and interludes from Italian operas, and a Japan-only release to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Tokyo M-Plus, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 "Pathetique" (live recording!). This fifth album features Bruckner's masterpiece "Symphony No. 4 (Romantic)," which will celebrate the bicentennial of his birth in 2024. The first draft of this symphony was completed in 1874, when Bruckner was 50 years old, but it was not premiered until 1978-80, when the scherzo was replaced with a new draft and the work underwent a full-scale revision. The work has been performed frequently because of its title "Romantic," its relatively familiar theme, and the fact that the performance time is not so long for a Bruckner work. Domingo Indoyan, who has been in the spotlight since his debut as a violinist at the BBC Proms, will lead this performance with his passionate baton.Recorded from a live performance at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall, the result is a disc that beautifully captures the excitement and drama of the concert.
