Heras-Casado leads “excellent” ‘Der fliegende Holländer’ at the Teatro Real
19 Dec 2016
“Pablo Heras-Casado secured some excellent playing from the house band. It started so well with an overture that had an irresistible forward momentum, with surging strings and uninhibited brass. I found his reading on the whole to be well paced, nicely swift and alive to the drama inherent in the score … The quality of the orchestral playing really was exceptional.”
-Operatraveller
“The best of his later work is already present in it and the cast of the Real, with excellent Wagnerian voices, a precise orchestral direction by Pablo Heras-Casado and an impressive chorus in this performance, does nothing but highlight the forcefulness of this musical fortress.”
{Lo mejor de su producción posterior ya está presente en ella y el reparto del Real, con unas excelentes voces wagnerianas, una dirección orquestal precisa a cargo de Pablo Heras-Casado y un coro impresionante en su desempeño, no hace sino poner de relieve la contundencia de este fortín musical.}
