Premiere Le Grand Macabre, Ligeti – Wiener Staatsoper

Apocalypse can be so colorful! BR Klassik It is the only opera by György Ligeti, but there is a whole world in it: "Le Grand Macabre" is a cornucopia of musical ideas. And they come into their own fantastically in the new production at the Vienna State Opera. [...] In Vienna,...

“A luminous and urgent performance, deftly balancing the shifts from moody ruminations to bouts of exuberance.... Heras-Casado is the thinking person’s idea of a hotshot young conductor.” - The New York Times

Premiere Le Grand Macabre, Ligeti – Wiener Staatsoper

Apocalypse can be so colorful!
BR Klassik

It is the only opera by György Ligeti, but there is a whole world in it: “Le Grand Macabre” is a cornucopia of musical ideas. And they come into their own fantastically in the new production at the Vienna State Opera.

[…] In Vienna, Pablo Heras-Casado holds all the strings, ropes and occasionally choppy cables of the score together perfectly, the music is brilliant, and the Slovak Philharmonic Choir delivers precise vocal hullabaloo (rehearsed by Jozef Chabroň).

Triumphant debut by Pablo Heras-Casado

TRIUMPHANT DEBUT BY PABLO HERAS-CASADO

Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado masters the difficult acoustics of the Festspielhaus right from his debut. What more famous conductors have failed at time and again, he succeeds at once: that orchestra, singers and even the fantastic choir really breathe together. It seems almost paradoxical: although Heras-Casado chooses fast tempi, the music never seems driven. For long stretches, this is fascinatingly slow, solemn music, which, however, flows as if through a natural inner gradient. Wagner’s refined sound mixtures are finely sounded out, the phrases speak – even in the orchestra, the climaxes lead to the goal. Who needs glasses?

Pablo Heras-Casado is the Principal Guest Conductor of Teatro Real, Madrid, artist of harmonia mundi & Deutsche Grammophon, also records for Decca Classics and Sony Classical, and is Global Ambassador of Ayuda en Acción.
