Info zu Dvořák: Slavonic Dances

Antonín Dvořáks Slawische Tänze, eine Hommage an den böhmischen Geist und rhythmische Brillanz, werden in einer lebhaften neuen Aufnahme der Tschechischen Philharmonie unter der Leitung des meisterhaften Sir Simon Rattle zum Leben erweckt. Diese lebendigen orchestralen Juwelen, voller rhythmischer Vitalität, folkloristischer Farben und lyrischem Charme, sind von zentraler Bedeutung für Dvořáks Vermächtnis und entscheidend für die Definition eines tschechischen Nationalklangs. Die Slawischen Tänze, die an einem Wendepunkt in der Karriere des Komponisten entstanden sind, strahlen Freude, Erfindungsreichtum und nationalen Charakter aus – Eigenschaften, die das Publikum in ganz Europa und darüber hinaus begeisterten. Als erster Gastdirigent: Rafael Kubelík Chair hat Sir Simon Rattle bereits zusammen mit dem Orchester und Magdalena Kožená mit Czech Songs (2024) und Folk Songs (2023) das Label bereichert.

Diese Veröffentlichung setzt die exklusive Zusammenarbeit zwischen PENTATONE und der Tschechischen Philharmonie (2024 von Gramophone zum Orchester des Jahres gekürt) fort, die sich dafür einsetzt, tschechische Musik auf der internationalen Bühne zum Leben zu erwecken. Sie folgt auf die gefeierten Aufnahmen von Dvořáks Sinfonien Nr. 7, 8 und 9 (2024) und Smetanas Má Vlast mit Chefdirigent und Musikdirektor Semyon Bychkov, die 2025 den BBC Music Magazine Orchestral Award gewann, sowie Dvoraks Legends and Rhapsodies mit Tomáš Netopil.

Sir Simon Rattle
was born in Liverpool and studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

From 1980 to 1998, Sir Simon was Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and was appointed Music Director in 1990. He moved to Berlin in 2002 and held the positions of Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker until he stepped down in 2018. Sir Simon became Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra in September 2017 and spent the 2017-18 season at the helm of both ensembles.

Sir Simon has made over 70 recordings for EMI record label (now Warner Classics) and has received numerous prestigious international awards for his recordings on various labels. Releases on EMI include Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms (which received the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance) Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, Ravel’s L'enfant et les sortileges, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 and Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. From 2014 Sir Simon continued to build his recording portfolio with the Berliner Philharmoniker’s in-house label, Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings, which led to recordings of the Beethoven, Schumann and Sibelius symphony cycles. Sir Simon’s most recent recordings include Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande, Turnage’s Remembering, and Ravel, Dutilleux and Delage on Blue-Ray & DVD with the London Symphony Orchestra’s record label, LSO Live.

He and the Berliner Philharmoniker were also appointed International UNICEF Ambassadors in 2004 - the first time this honour has been conferred on an artistic ensemble.

For Salzburg Osterfestspiele, Rattle has conducted staged productions of Fidelio, Così fan tutte, Peter Grimes, Pelléas et Mélisande, Salome and Carmen, a concert performance of Idomeneo and many contrasting concert programmes. He has also conducted Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen with the Berliner Philharmoniker for Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and Salzburg Osterfestspiele and most recently at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Wiener Staatsoper. Other recent opera productions for Sir Simon include Pelléas et Mélisande and Dialogues des Carmélites for the Royal Opera House; L'Étoile, Aus einem Totenhaus, Káťa Kabanová and La damnation de Faust for the Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin, and Andrew Norman’s A Trip to the Moon at the Barbican Centre, London.

Sir Simon has longstanding relationships with the leading orchestras in London, Europe and the USA; initially working closely with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Symphony Orchestra, and more recently with The Philadelphia Orchestra. He regularly conducts the Wiener Philharmoniker, with whom he has recorded the complete Beethoven symphonies and piano concertos with Alfred Brendel and is also a Principal Artist of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Founding Patron of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group..
