Andrés Orozco-Estrada and Frankfurt Radio Symphony release Strauss-CD
Andrés Orozco-Estrada continues his critically acclaimed series of recordings for PENTATONE with this release of the evocative tone poems Macbeth and Ein Heldenleben by Richard Strauss, performed here with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.
This is Orozco-Estrada’s fourth recording for PENTATONE. His first recording, the Stravinsky ballets The Firebird and The Rite of Spring, was praised by Gramophone for his ability to “unearth an astonishing amount of detail at relatively spacious tempi” and for “PENTATONE’s awesomely precise recording”. His two discs of Dvořák symphonies received similar acclaim: “Vivid and colourful, overall well balanced” (Pizzicato).
Gramophone also praised the new Strauss-CD (November, 2016): "Everything's where it should be, and the playing has an easy virtuosity. Heldenleben sets off with terrific swagger, while the love music swells and swoons magnificently, bolstered by some beautifully rounded playing from the horns and a silky corporate string tone."
