Prom 61: Orozco-Estrada/ Vienna Philharmonic
Royal Albert Hall, 4th September 2019
After the emotional scenes the evening before, when the Proms bade a dewy-eyed farewell to nonagenarian Bernard Haitink, there was always going to be the danger of a sense of anti-climax approaching the next concert. We needn’t have worried. Although Andrés Orozco-Estrada has a very different style to Haitink, he drew playing from the Vienna Philharmonic that was equally wondrous in performances of Dvořák and Korngold that culminated in a lovingly played account of the “New World” Symphony that felt like the aural equivalent of a warm embrace.
