Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff in Seville [Review]
"Alfonso Casado...made [the orchestra] sound smooth and bright as it sounds in its best nights. There were moments of “magical sounds” like the beginning of the Adagio Sostenuto […] Casado controlled the dynamics and cared to the extreme for the balance with the soloists, not undermining with this the orchestral colour”
