Delos is thrilled to embark on a new journey with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director Stéphane Denève. What better statement of intent for their first album on the label than releasing the world premiere recording of three works by native St. Louisan and Pulitzer Prize- and GRAMMY®-winning composer Kevin Puts? Dedicated to the SLSO and Stéphane, Concerto for Orchestra was written in response to the horrific school shooting that occurred in Uvalde in 2022. Silent Night Elegy is drawn from Kevin's acclaimed opera, which adapts Joyeux Noël, the award-winning film that tells the story of the spontaneous ceasefires along the Western Front on the first Christmas Eve of World War I. Inspired by Guillaume de Machaut, Virelai was commissioned for the opening concert of Stéphane's tenure as Music Director of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. This album celebrates the SLSO's dynamic partnership with Stéphane and demonstrates the orchestra's commitment to artistic excellence and inclusive musical experiences.
