Reviews
“The shadings and sparkle Pablo Heras-Casado drew from Mozart's "Prague" Symphony [with Staatskapelle Dresden] were flabbergasting... [He] was honoured for his astonishing debut concert with enthusiastic applause: we look forward to another encounter with this congenial Spaniard.” (Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, February 2010)
"[Under the] batonless young Spaniard of boundless animation, [the concert] felt like a multi-century symposium on the vitality and viability of the Western classical tradition." (Minneapolis Star-Tribune, May 2009)
“The conductor, Pablo Heras-Casado, makes a lively UK debut, ranging freely between exuberance and delicate lyricism.” (Financial Times, February 2010)
“The young Spaniard Pablo Heras-Casado, making his house debut, conducted with an elegant sense of line and daringly relaxed tempi.” (The Observer, February 2010)
“[The conductor was] the 31-year-old Pablo Heras-Casado, whom I managed to miss at his Green Umbrella debut last December but won’t ever again; he’s terrific.” (So I’ve heard, March 2009)
