Released in 2022 on the LSO Live label, this SACD album is an energetic celebration of the fusion between classical music and jazz, bringing together the London Symphony Orchestra, conductor Sir Simon Rattle, and the piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèque. At the heart of the recording is Osvaldo Golijov's title piece Nazareno!, pulsing with Argentine rhythms and tango, which is complemented by Igor Stravinsky's swinging Ebony Concerto and Leonard Bernstein's electrifying Prelude, Fugue and Riffs. The album offers a dynamic, highly polished, and rhythmically captivating insight into the jazz-influenced orchestral music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
