Toronto Symphony Orchestra
“The orchestra shines collectively and individually” (Wholenote, June 2010)
OVERVIEW
Founded in 1922, The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is one of Canada’s major cultural institutions. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra developed an international presence through a history of touring to venues in the United States, Europe, and Asia, including a groundbreaking trip to China in 1978 as the first Canadian Orchestra to be invited to enter China after the Cultural Revolution. Under the leadership of Music Director Peter Oundjian, the TSO is committed to innovative programming and showcases a roster of distinguished guest artists and conductors.
REVIEWS
“This fifth release featuring music director Peter Oundjian is a crisp, clean and gorgeously balanced reading of the seven-movement orchestral suite The Planets.” (Toronto Star, March 2011)
Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, a warhorse that Oundjian approaches with rare curiosity and the TSO plays with equally rare intensity. Tempo shifts were convincing and colours were rich. (National Post, Jan 2011)
“It’s been a long wait since the Toronto Symphony’s spine-tingling 2008 live performance at Roy Thomson Hall, captured here for posterity. Music Director Peter Oundjian masterfully builds and releases tension and his musicians respond in kind. This fourth recording on the TSO’s own label is its best yet.” (Toronto Star, June 2010)
“Music Director Peter Oundjian uses his light touch and confidence in the work’s larger architecture to deliver a smooth, clear, unforced interpretation.” (Toronto Star, October 2008)
“…Toronto residents have reason to be proud of this group, its maestro, and this recording.” (Gramophone Magazine, June 2008)
“This is a great start for a strong, renewed orchestra’s brand-new label.” (Toronto Star, January 2008)
