To commemorate this anniversary, we are releasing a commemorative box featuring works by Smetana (1824-1884) on the 200th anniversary of his birth, Dvok (1841-1904) on the 120th anniversary of his death, and Janek (1854-1928) on the 170th anniversary of his birth! The new SACD hybrid version will be available in 2024 with the latest remastered sound.The LSO Live was one of the pioneers in the world of independent orchestral labels, and since the release of the seminal 1999 recording of "Dvok: From the New World," its releases have been widely acclaimed.Sir Colin Davis (1927-2013) was the Chief Conductor of the LSO from 1995 and President from 2006-2013, literally an icon of the LSO. Sir Colin Davis' recordings from LSO Live have won prestigious awards around the world, including the Gramaud and Gramophone Awards. The LSO sound under the direction of Sir Colin Davis is a supreme performance that stands out for its exquisite blend and balance, yet it is also full of energy. Rattle served as Music Director of the LSO from September 2017 until Fall 2023, and has brought to LSO Live memorable recordings of Bruckner symphonies, Janacek operas, Stravinsky works, and Beethoven's Violin Concerto with violinist Eberle as a guest. The LSO Live program includes memorable masterpieces such as Stravinsky's operaThe LSO with Rattle is high in tension, and the beauty of the string tone, honed since the Colin Davis era, is combined with an energetic rhythmic appeal.(King International)
