Tudor Double SACD 1744
»The spacious sound of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra rolls towards the listener's ears in powerful waves, a Brahms experience of a special kind.«
»Jakub Hrůša is a tinkerer, an enthusiastic experimenter, a tireless ponderer when it comes to musical structure.« Rondo Magazin
»Symphonic works by Brahms and Dvorák, Fourth versus Ninth. Yes, that can be extremely exciting! Because the respectful gentlemen Johannes and Antonín not only had a lot in common musically. What you can hear in this brilliant, very stimulating juxtaposition. Because Jakub Hrůša can. The 36-year-old from Brno is already one of the conductors worth hearing. He has just made a great debut with the Berlin Philharmonic. The finely tuned Bamberg Symphony Orchestra can already look forward to guarding this treasure of sound until at least 2026.« Welt am Sonntag
»Curiously, Hrůša’s accounts of both Brahm’s Third and Fourth symphonies share a distinctly elegiac, restrained tone, yet in this new recording the restraint feels quintessentially – and quite touchingly – Brahmsian. (…) Indeed, the orchestra’s characterful, rhythmically vital playing is a consistent delight.« Grammophone
