Pablo Heras-Casado makes his debut with NDR Sinfonieorchester Hamburg, performing in three concerts on 15, 16 and 18 January.

The programme includes Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.5 with Alexander Melnikov as the soloist, with whom Heras-Casado just recorded Schumann’s Piano Concerto for release on harmonia mundi.

The concerts also feature the complete version of Stravinsky’s Firebird, which Heras-Casado recently performed with Staatskapelle Berlin to great critical acclaim, including from Der Tagesspiegel, which dubbed it a ​“spectacular evening” and complimented Heras-Casado on his technical brilliance.

The final concert is broadcast live on NDR Kultur and also available for on-demand streaming via the NDR website.
