On 17 November, the latest CD by the
Brussels Philharmonic and music director Stéphane Denève will appear on
Deutsche Grammophon. Brussels Philharmonic is the first symphony orchestra in Belgium
to work with this record label. For its second recording with the more
than 100-year-old Deutsche Grammophon, the orchestra opted for the ballet music of Sergei Prokofiev. Denève’s touch is clearly noticeable: he created a new musical dramaturgy, choosing from the existing suites, giving rise to new and exciting combinations.
Stéphane Denève, music director Brussels Philharmonic:
"I have always felt very close to Prokofiev's music, it is therefore an immense joy for me to be able to propose, thanks to the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, my own suites of two of his most marvellous ballets: Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella. The Brussels Philharmonic and myself want to offer a narrative journey, a romantic vision of those pieces, speaking to the senses and imagination. I hope that this recording will inspire reverie and evoke exalted emotions, in one word: infinite romanticism!”

In
2016, the Philharmonic recorded 'Connesson: Pour sortir au jour' for
Deutsche Grammophon. That recording won a Diapason d’or of the year, a
CHOC de Classica of the year and a Caecilia prize.
