Gustavo Dudamel (condutor)
Wednesday 20 November 2019
Barbican Hall, London
★★★★
Andrew Norman (b.1979): Sustain (2018)
Anton Bruckner (1824-96): Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, 'Romantic'
(1874, rev 1878-80, ed Nowak)
Norman:
'The cumulative effect, with ever-faster collisions of chromatic cascades swirling around the orchestra, is captivating, oppressive and thrilling at the same time'.
'The orchestral players ... were totally on top of the serious ensemble demands it presents'
Bruckner:
'Dudamel and the LA Phil certainly gave full weight to the climaxes, loud and full-bodied, with a particularly blazing conclusion to the finale'.
'A powerful overall performance'.
