From rear card:'This studio recording of Alexander Glazunov's Raymonda was captured in October 2022. The arrangement was created for English
National Ballet's 2022 production, with a score specially adapted and edited by Gavin Sutherland and Lars Payne: The lavish
orchestral adaptation retains the best of Glazunov's 19th-century original score, updating it to match the dramatic new narrative
devised by Tamara Rojo.
The original Raymonda is very rarely performed in the UK, where no dance company performs it in its entirety. The journey of
adapting and realising Glazunov's score for English National Ballet's new interpretation was extensive, and this recording preserves
the beauty of the piece and the musical talent of the Company. Sutherland and Payne spent four rewarding days making the
recording with English National Ballet Philharmonic, in the Holloway Production Studio at the Mulryan Centre for Dance, London.
"Glazunov's big, juicy score - edited and adapted by Gavin Sutherland and
Lars Payne - sounds magnificent." Raymonda production review, The Times
