The latter nominated him as conductor of the original production of The Prince of the Pagodas. In 1958, he was invited by John Culshaw – at short notice – to make Decca’s first stereo recording to launch their new SXL series. Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, which, issued that same year (alongside other popular Tchaikovsky orchestral works), went on to become a bestseller. The next year he was invited back to the studio to make two further records from which his Grieg Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 (with one of the most beautifully-shaped accounts of ‘Morning mood’ to be committed to disc) as well as a selection of Rossini Overtures now appear on CD for the first time. The release was instigated by Alwyn himself and he provides the colourful notes for this release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGRIEG\u003cbr\u003ePeer Gynt – Suite No. 1\u003cbr\u003eLondon Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eKenneth Alwyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eROSSINI\u003cbr\u003eOvertures:\u003cbr\u003eIl barbiere di Siviglia\u003cbr\u003eGuillaume Tell\u003cbr\u003eLa scala di seta\u003cbr\u003eSemiramide\u003cbr\u003eNew Symphony Orchestra of London\u003cbr\u003eKenneth Alwyn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFIRST INTERNATIONAL RELEASE ON CD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DECCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32337291214935,"sku":"028948056170 - ETC","price":5.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/00028948056170-cover-1021x1024.jpg?v=1600429609","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/grieg-rossini-peer-gynt-suite-no-1-overtures-lpo-new-symphony-orchestra-of-london","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
