Choc de classica

Oct 22, 2013

Classica has recognized Pablo Heras-Casado’s recording of Schubert’s Third and Fourth Symphonies with its “Choc de Classica” award. The French publication singled out the Spanish maestro’s album with the Freiburger Barockorchester on the harmonia mundi label.

“Uncork the fizz,” raves the Financial Times in its five-star review: “this is Schubert as never heard in modern times. The symphonies were crying out for a period makeover, but who could have expected the result – taut, texturally transparent, rhythmically alert – to sound so witty and exciting? No one listening to this recording will ever want to return to traditional symphonic Schubert.” Order the album here on iTunes or Amazon.
