Yannick Nezet-SeguinAbout
La Mer garnered five stars from the French magazine Diapason, which declared, “What is immediately apparent in Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s Debussy is its meticulousness, its almost chamber-music like transparency, and its subtle shading.” Pierre Mercure’s Kaléidoscope was also praised for its “formidably contrasted reading …Under Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s baton, the work’s constantly shifting emotional limate combines tragic grandeur with the most cheerful lightness.”
La Mer revisits a live concert programme performed by the Orchestre Métropolitain during its 2006-2007 season.
In 2020, Yannick Nézet-Séguin succeeds James Levine to become the third Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
“What genius Britten shows in his four interludes from the opera Peter Grimes. […] Nézet-Séguin recreates the exact context of each scene portrayed, from the depths of the ocean to the sky-shaking tempest. […] The young conductor ends with Debussy’s La Mer, […] a very impressive performance, sometimes lyric, sometimes livid, always detailed.” – La Presse
“It was pure delight to hear Pierre Mercure’s Kaléidoscope played with such emotion.” – The Gazette
