Elgar in Germany

[alberto]

Maybe someone will be interested to know that Kirill Petrenko (designated as Principal of the BPO starting from 2018) in one of his just three appearances on the podium of the Berliner conducted (10/5/09) Elgar's Second Symphony.
If one looks at K.Petrenko very scarce discography will find three Suk records for CPO and Pfitzner's Palestrina (and,if I am right, nothing else).
Will we expect from the BPO also recordings of not-standard repertoire? I have no idea.

There is quite a bit of Petrenko on Youtube, mind you: https://www.youtube.com/results?lclk=long&search_query=kirill+petrenko&filters=long, which indicates a healthy alternation between sung and unsung pieces. The 2nd Elgar can also be seen here.

We can certainly hope for more Elgar from him in Berlin. Beyond that, who knows? A lot of Russian stuff, I assume.

If I am  right on You Tube may be seen Elgar's Second conducted by Vassily Petrenko, not by Kirill P.

[Alan Howe]

You are right, of course, Alberto. It's Vasily, not Kirill (no relation!), who has conducted and recorded Elgar, so we can't expect any Elgar from Kirill in Berlin.

[Alan Howe]

Well, I was 100% wrong. Kirill conducted Elgar 2 in Berlin in May 2009:

A recording with this combination of conductor and orchestra would be a real event.
