Info zu Glazunov: Raymonda, Op. 57

This studio recording of Alexander Glazunov's Raymonda is created for the 2022 performance by English National Ballet, with a score adapted and edited by Gavin Sutherland and Lars Payne. Following the epic journey of love and courage inspired by the spirit of Florence Nightingale, this lavish orchestral adaptation retains the best of Glazunov's 19th-century original score, updating it to match the dramatic new narrative choreographed by Tamara Rojo.

"Conducted by Gavin Sutherland, the English National Ballet Philharmonic – which probably knows it better than anyone else – plays mostly well, though the string sound does not have the kind of opulence that could realise the music’s full potential." (BBC Music)

Glazunov’s big, juicy score – edited and adapted by Gavin Sutherland and Lars Payne – sounds magnificent.” (The Times)

“A modern classic” (The Daily Telegraph)

“Glazunov’s score is a stunner, and the orchestra under Gavin Sutherland relishes its lush and sparkling textures.” (The Evening Standard)

“Glazunov’s score, often regarded as the main triumph of the ballet, is given its full worth by the orchestra under the direction of Gavin Sutherland.” (The Guardian)
