Pablo Heras-Casado makes triumphant Carnegie Hall main stage debut with Orchestra of St. Luke’s

Feb 12, 2013

Pablo Heras-Casado made a triumphant debut on the Perelman stage of New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall last week, leading the Orchestra of St. Luke’s as its principal conductor. Opening with Beethoven’s “Egmont” Overture, Pablo “drew crisp and textured playing from the orchestra. The performance had musical depth and character, not just élan and excitement” (New York Times). The 34-year-old Spanish conductor “led a luminous and urgent performance” of Schumann’s original 1841 Fourth Symphony, writes the New York Times, “deftly balancing the shifts from moody ruminations to bouts of exuberance… he offered the audience a fascinating excursion. Mr. Heras-Casado is the thinking person’s idea of a hotshot young conductor.” Read the entire review here.
