Recordings and Commissions

Recordings 

Mr Petric's discography of 101 recordings consisting of 42 CD titles and 59 international state radio recordings is a signal statement of inclusivity in the canon. A repeat laureate of Quebec's Prix Opus and the OAC Hunter Recording Prize, his CD Orbiting Garden (Centrediscs) was JUNO nominated and cited in Gramophone as “a dizzying, elaborate and impressively played recital.” His radical exploration of Haydn keyboard works was given honourable mention in Ted Gioia's California Substack alongside Pat Metheny and John Zorn. Broadcast regularly by HNK Japan, BBCRadio3, TV5, PBS, and most European Broadcast Union partners, Mr Petric has been highlighted in special features by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation 1986, 1996, 2019, 2021, Société Radio Canada in 2002 and 2004, and BBCRadio3 1994, 1998 and 2022. His producers include BBC's John Rushby Smith, CBC's David Jaeger, David Quinne and Peter Lutek. Numerous solo and chambermusic albums of original works are planned in upcoming seasons.
