MADRID / Pablo Heras-Casado and Bruckner’s Fourth: Etching painting
Scherzo

A new confrontation of the ubiquitous, kaleidoscopic, versatile, highly skilled and prepared Pablo Heras-Casado with the music of Anton Bruckner, this time, after the Ninth a couple of years ago with the same orchestra, the most popular Fourth, the so-called ‘Romantic’. […] A symphonic design very well understood by the conductor from Granada, who knew how to provide the means for all this material to be worked with order and fantasy.

On the right track, Heras-Casado at the helm of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid
Beckmesser

The conductor from Granada is getting a taste for the music of Bruckner, whose ‘Ninth’ he conducted a couple of years ago. He is not lacking in qualities: a high capacity for concentration, a clear and moving gesture, a sense of rhythm and proportions, sensitivity for the control of dynamics, the vigour to raise powerful structures, impetus and a clarifying will. Very convenient elements when it comes to erecting a monument such as this Brucknerian symphony from the very beginning.
