Eduardo Portal, conductor

"Eduardo Portal is an impressive young conductor; he possesses a lucid technique used in service of the music and with a clear idea of what he wants. He also has an innate relish for what he conducts. (…)
Portal and the LPO gave José’s lovely and exhilarating music with sympathy and panache; and in the ‘old’ Falla’s Three-Cornered Hat suites (just over half of the complete score) the conductor brought fastidious attention to orchestral detail and dynamics to leave in no doubt as to there being a narrative behind the notes. With nifty speeds that never seemed rushed, and with some malleability, the score was brilliantly brought off, the LPO incisive, deft and expressive." (www.classicalsource.com)

In a sold out concert at the London Royal Festival Hall and a concert in Brighton Dome, Eduardo Portal made his debut conducting Antonio José's Suite El Mozo de Mulas, Falla's Nights in the Gardens of Spain as well as The three cornered hat suites, Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and Mussorgsky-Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition.
