LSO Live celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2010. The label’s first release of the year features Prokofiev’s spectacular score for the ballet Romeo & Juliet conducted by Valery Gergiev. Gergiev is a tireless champion of Prokofiev’s music. In 2004 he conducted the complete cycle of the composer’s symphonies with the LSO which then won a Gramophone Award. Shortly afterwards Gergiev became Principal Conductor of the LSO and spent much of 2008 and 2009 touring Prokofiev’s symphonies with the orchestra in Europe, Japan and the USA. Gergiev’s Mahler cycle continues in February 2010 with the release of the Fourth Symphony. Other upcoming releases on LSO Live include a Rachmaninov symphony cycle as well as music by Ravel, Stravinsky, Debussy and Strauss
