Reviews
“This pair of symphonies from Heras-Casado and the Freiburg Barockorchester, though, is well worth a listen for its constant energy and infectious optimism in the Third. It is to be hoped that this partnership will be returning to the other Schubert symphonies.”
Rohan Shotton, MusicWeb-International
“Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado, which we’ve been fortunate enough to experience with the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, has teamed up with the Freiburger Baroque Orchestra on a new Harmonia Mundi album, with brilliant results.
Here, he can push his musicians as much as he pleases. They can be hormonal and sound excited rather than raucous. These interpretations, especially the “Tragic” Fourth Symphony, have their heart beating boldly on a sleeve. We get all of Schubert’s fine craft, presented in a way that keeps us listening on the edge of the seat.”
John Terauds – Musical Toronto
