Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Karina Canellakis
Karina Canellakis offers the first fruit of her exclusive Pentatone collaboration with a recording of Bartók’s 4 Orchestral Pieces and Concerto for Orchestra, together with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, of which she is the Chief Conductor. The 4 Orchestral Pieces have a strong affinity with the stage works Duke Bluebeard’s Castle and The Wooden Prince, conceived in the same period. The Concerto for Orchestra is one of Bartóks final works, full of folk tunes, and utterly colourful and virtuosic for all the instruments. As such, it’s an ideal piece to showcase the congeniality between the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and its star Chief Conductor. Internationally acclaimed for her emotionally charged performances, technical command and interpretive depth, Karina Canellakis has become one of the most indemand conductors of her generation. She makes her Pentatone debut as Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra that returns to the label after its participation in Gordon Getty’s Beauty Comes Dancing (2018).
Canellakis faces stern competition in the Concerto for Orchestra...The great vir tue of this performance, however, is that Canellakis places more emphasis on the work’s shadowy and anguished resonances rather than focusing on its propensity towards extrovert virtuoso display.
Karina Canellakis (who wrote the detailed – and impassioned – booklet notes) clearly relates to the ethos of [the Four Pieces] and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra (impressively engineered by the Pentatone team) paint the soundscapes with both finesse and fire.
