Kirill Petrenko, the mix of lucidity and nuance, of natural flow and urgency
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnKhE5ij1GI&t=145s
Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier” for the conductor Kirill Petrenko and the Bavarian State Orchestra, where Mr. Petrenko has been music director since 2013
Mr. Petrenko and his players conveyed the graphic passion in the music, but also its giddiness, humor and, most important, its intricacy. I’ve seldom heard the passage performed with more transparency and color. Right after some raucous horn blasts suggest Octavian in his moment of, ahem, climax, Mr. Petrenko followed Strauss’s instruction in the score to play “in strict time,” bringing exact rhythmic articulation to the series of syncopated chords. It made the ecstasy of the moment even more ecstatic.
ペトレンコ氏と彼の奏者たちは、音楽のグラフィックな情熱だけでなく、そのめまい、ユーモア、そして最も重要な複雑さを伝えました。 パッセージがより透明度と色で演奏されるのを聞いたことはめったにありません。 いくつかの騒々しいホーンブラストが、オクタヴィアンがエヘム、クライマックスの瞬間にあることを示唆した直後、ペトレンコ氏はスコアのシュトラウスの指示に従って「厳密な時間で」演奏し、シンコペーションされた一連の和音に正確なリズムのアーティキュレーションをもたらしました。 その瞬間の恍惚感をさらに高めてくれました。
The mix of lucidity and nuance, of natural flow and urgency, surely came from complete trust between conductor and players.

Review: An Ecstatic ‘Rosenkavalier’ Introduces a Conductor to Carnegie

Petrenko was chosen by Berliner Philharmoniker
Mr. Petrenko, 43, is in the midst of rehearsals at the Bayreuth Festival and so did not attend the hastily arranged news conference in Berlin, where his appointment was announced a day after the musicians of the Philharmonic, a self-governing orchestra, met in secret near their concert hall. There they elected him the latest in a line of distinguished leaders that has included Hans von Bülow, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado and the current conductor, Simon Rattle.
n choosing Mr. Petrenko, who is best known as an opera conductor, the Philharmonic’s players bypassed a number of more famous maestros and opted for a quiet, diligent musician who has won the admiration of orchestras, critics and audiences. In some ways he is the opposite of the jet-setters who have increasingly become the norm in the field, arranging his schedule in recent years to devote more of his time to fewer ensembles.
He received acclaim for his earlier run as music director of the Komische Oper in Berlin, as well as engagements with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra and other ensembles. In 2012 he led a production of Mussorgsky’s “Khovanshchina” at the Metropolitan Opera that was a highlight of the season. And in 2013, his conducting of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle at Bayreuth was applauded, even if the production was not.
