Yannick Nézet-Séguin just made his debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra recently, and he has been very well received. The French-Canadian is like nothing that the London orchestra has seen in a long time. He is young, dynamic and sees the music is a bigger way than most other people do. In the first part of the performance, he was accompanied by a Norwegian Cellist on the Haydn Concerto in C major that was very light and fluid the way it was supposed to. The second part, a Bruckner symphony, was one of the best performances that the reviewer has ever seen. The new conductor shows the musical phrases with his body and each one is new, and easier to feel than the reviewer could remember. We’re happy to hear of this up-and-coming fellow in the field!
