“Here, Josep Pons makes a kind of symphonic summary of the score, tackling the key moments of this human tragedy. He deftly mixes the purely orchestral passages and those in which the vocal interventions are to a great extent supported by a very active orchestra… Josep Pons’ musical direction enthusiastically emphasizes the epic work in a display of orchestral dynamics, from the most delicate pianissimos to the tragic fortissimos.”

“During the whole concert, Josep Pons is as usual very efficient, the gesture is precise and the orchestra responds perfectly.”

“Pons is not used to working with the SCO, and Falla is not a composer with whom they have worked very often; but exciting results can come from such circumstances, and so it proved tonight with an exciting, throbbing performance of both works that pulsed with Latin life and gleamed with Mediterranean sunlight.”
Simon Thompson

“In this superbly well executed performance, the BBCSO of smaller size showed what a first-class orchestra is. A great merit in this sense belongs to Josep Pons.”

Parsifal at the Teatre del Liceu “A transparent, meticulous and clarifying vision of the inexhaustible background of the score.”
June 2023
“[…] The idiomatic baton of the Spanish maestro Josep Pons conjured an air of authenticity. His opening gambit, the brooding Interlude and sizzling Dance from Manuel de Falla’s unfairly neglected opera La Vida Breve, displayed an instinct for subtle grace and building dramatic tension.”
Clive Paget

“Josep Pons duly brought out the drama of the initial pages of de Falla’s La Vida Breve, before heading into a rendition of the main section such as (rightly) predicated suavity over rhetoric, while not lacking for impetus as this music reached its effervescent close”
