Andres Orozco-EstradaAbout
Dvořák’s evergreen Slavonic Dances, Op.46 (of which two are heard in this recording) are equally popular with audiences. Responsible for establishing Dvořák’s international reputation, these utterly charming pieces overflow with appealing melodies and catchy rhythms, their freshness and simplicity concealing their artful construction.
Andrés Orozco-Estrada is one of the most sought after conductors of his generation. Music Director of the Houston Symphony and Chief Conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, he is also Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. He has been widely praised for his style and command, Die Presse remarking “The orchestra was on top form, displaying precision and clarity in equal measure … packed with drama and finely balanced under Andrés Orozco-Estrada’s direction.” (August 2016) This is Orozco-Estrada’s fifth recording for Pentatone. His earlier discs of Dvořák symphonies were described as “Vivid and colourful, overall well balanced” (Pizzicato), and “an interpretation full of theatricality, with a sure sense of the monumental” (Gramophone).
Future releases from Pentatone with Orozco-Estrada in 2017 include Haydn’s Die Schöpfung with the Houston Symphony, and Richard Strauss’s opera Salome with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
“When it comes to sheer vitality and warmth, this Texan ensemble doesn’t hold back… Andrés Orozco-Estrada’s is an interpretation full of theatricality, with a sure sense of the monumental. It’s all there in the broad sense, in his far-sighted approach to structure and pacing… even if some of it verges on the brash, there’s no denying that Orozco-Estrada knows how to fire up his army” - Gramophone on Dvořák 7 & 8 PTC5186578
