In Reply to: RE: who is Kirill Petrenko? posted by maxim on June 22, 2015 at 06:26:20
He's been conducting orchestras (mostly opera) in Germany for 20 years and is well known in Berlin where he is currently the music director of the Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin.
I have two recordings conducted by him with his current orchestra. They are recordings of the Asrael Symphony and various other orchestral music by Josef Suk.
I'm looking forward to his tenure at the Berlin Philharmonic. Not only because I'm not much of a Simon Rattle fan, but also because Petrenko might actually let the orchestra expand their repertoire and play/record more music by unjustly forgotten/neglected composers like Suk.

I'd toss Franz Welser Most and Daniel Barenboim in there as well......
Such a pity that the Soprano in the Verdi goes a touch flat at the end of Libera Me.
Marin Alsop's work with Shostakovich have had moatly excellent reviews.... (I thought her performance of the "Leningrad" Symphony was decent, but not great. Not familiar with her other Shosty work to give an opinion. Seems to be Alsop's "go-to" composer.) I thought Welser Most did a good Schumann Three with the LPO....... His Bruckner Nine with Cleveland (performed in Vienna) was also nice.
I'll agree with the first. I'm a fan of the second.
I can think of some others who are equally unappealing, at least to me. But I'm hoping Petrenko can breathe some life in to that moribund band.

I think Berlin held up rather well under Rattle.... In spite of me not being a fan of the conductor..... Kind of like how Cleveland held up under Lorin Maazel.
