Heras-Casado conducts Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony

Pablo Heras-Casado’s mastery of contemporary-music idioms is perfect for the S.F. Symphony’s West Coast premiere of Magnus Lindberg's EXPO, which has been described as “a brash yet amiable mix of steely brass chorales, sparkling woodwind flurries, lush thickets of strings and eruptive percussion.” Stephen Hough will preside over the “other” Liszt piano concerto, no. 2, and Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony concludes the evening.
