On Air announces a trio of stunning, out-of-this-world performances from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
LONDON , Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — On Air announces the release of a trio of performances by the renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra . Conducted by Peter Breiner , all three performances feature compositions by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), the revolutionary composer behind one of the most important and profound movements of the last century: neo-classicism.
Recorded in 4K UHD Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos technologies , the three compositions performed are The Firebird , Pétroushka and The Rite of Spring .
The Firebird will be available from November 17, Pétroushka from December 8 and The Rite of Spring from December 22. All three shows will be available on demand after release.
Tickets for all 3 shows are available at www.onair.events/classical .
Jakub Krampl , CEO of On Air, commented: “We are very pleased to present three exceptional works by Stravinsky with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Peter Breiner . As with every show, the bar has been raised a notch and this time around is no exception. Classic shows are visually dull, with a front-facing camera, only a few angles, not reflecting the dynamics of the music itself. We’re taking a different approach here, and the end product is very satisfying both visually and sonically. Will some purists hate it? Maybe, but we aim to attract a younger audience to our shows who will appreciate the modern twist. »
Ian Maclay , of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, added: “For us, the collaboration with On Air has been an exceptional opportunity to continue our journey to make orchestral music accessible to all, placing it at the heart of contemporary society. »
Conductor, Peter Breiner , concluded: “ It is hard to find a better way to get started in classical music than these three major works by Stravinsky which form the basis of every orchestra’s repertoire. The collaboration of the brilliant Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the best producers resulted in an absolutely extraordinary visual and sound recording. »
