- ペトレンコは、以下のように語り、プーチン体制に組しない立ち位置を明確にしました。
- 「ロシアとウクライナの人々の間には歴史的および文化的なつながりがあり、ロシアの侵略を正当化する理由はどこにもなく、今起こっている悲劇は、今世紀最大の道徳的失敗と人道的災害の一つです。これらの恐ろしい出来事に応え、私は平和が回復するまでロシアでの仕事を中断することに決めました。」 クラシック音楽とアートより
In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Petrenko suspended his work with the orchestra stating "In response to these terrible events, I have decided to suspend my work in Russia... until peace has been restored."
Studies and career
Petrenko attended the Capella Boys Music School and the St Petersburg Conservatoire. Petrenko studied conducting principally under Ravil Martynov, also learning from Mariss Jansons, Yuri Temirkanov and Esa-Pekka Salonen. He was resident conductor at the St. Petersburg Opera and Ballet Theatre from 1994 to 1997. He has served as chief conductor of the State Academy of St. Petersburg since 1994. In 2002 he won the first prize of the Cadaques Orchestra International Conducting Competition.
Petrenko made his conducting debut with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (RLPO) in November 2004. After this appearance, in July 2005, he was named the RLPO's principal conductor, the youngest-ever conductor in the post, effective with the 2006?2007 season for an initial contract of 3 years. Since taking up the post, the orchestra's financial situation and attendance have improved. He has also received critical praise for revitalising the orchestra, in Russian repertoire (especially Shostakovich) as well as standard repertoire such as Brahms, and in English music. In May 2007, the RLPO announced that Petrenko had extended his contract with the orchestra to 2012. In September 2009, the orchestra announced a further extension of his contract to 2015, with a change of Petrenko's title to Chief Conductor. In March 2013, the RLPO announced the conversion of Petrenko's contract into an extended open-ended agreement with no specific scheduled time of conclusion, and where Petrenko is to give an advance notice of 3 years of when he wishes to conclude his tenure. His first conducting appearance at The Proms was with the RLPO in August 2008. Petrenko and the RLPO have recorded several compact discs for Naxos. Petrenko's recording of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony won the Gramophone orchestral recording of the year in 2009.
In April 2007, Petrenko was one of eight conductors of British orchestras to endorse the 10-year classical music outreach manifesto, "Building on Excellence: Orchestras for the 21st Century", to increase the presence of classical music in the UK, including giving free entry to all British schoolchildren to a classical music concert. In December 2008, the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain announced the appointment of Petrenko as its new principal conductor, and he conducted his first concert as principal conductor of NYO at the 2009 BBC Proms.
In March 2009, Petrenko was awarded an honorary professorship and Doctor of Letters degree from Liverpool Hope University. In April 2009, Petrenko was made an 'Honorary Scouser' by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool.
Petrenko first conducted the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in December 2009. In February 2011, the Oslo Philharmonic announced the appointment of Petrenko as its next chief conductor, as of the 2013-2014 season, with an initial contract of 4 years. His Oslo contract calls for 7 weeks of appearances in his first seasons and 10 weeks of appearances in subsequent seasons.
In August 2013 Petrenko was reported in Norwegian media as saying that orchestral musicians react better to male conductors since he thinks they have less sexual energy and can focus more on the music. He was also reported as saying that with a sweet girl on the podium thoughts are directed to something else. Petrenko published a "clarification" the day after and said that he was referring to opinions held in Russia.
He added: "I'd encourage any girl to study conducting. How successful they turn out to be depends on their talent and their work, definitely not their gender."
