Celebrating the union of classical and jazz, LSO Live\’s latest release encapsulates the very best of the two genres with an irresistible selection of works by Bernstein, Stravinsky and Golijov, conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Argentinian tango and jazz course through Golijov\’s vibrant Nazareno. Superstar piano duo Katia and Marielle Labeque are flanked by brass, percussion and cello in this special arrangement for two pianos and orchestra by Gonzalo Grau. LSO Principal Clarinettist Chris Richards steps into the spotlight in Stravinsky\’s Ebony Concerto. The work is an era-defining amalgamation of jazz and classical, reflecting back the variety of a rapidly chag world, at turns frenetic and agitated, mournful and bluesy. This fluidity extends into Bernstein\’s Prelude, Fugue and Riffs — an exuberant display of contrasting musical ideas, harmoniously intertwined together.
