Rotterdam Philharmonic Gergiev Festival

Breaking news: Bruckner was an impressionist. Just listen to his Eighth with Yannick Nézet-Séguin. From the hushed opening the symphony transforms into a majestic sunrise which sets the world ablaze. ‘Rare’, wrote the authoritative Diapason magazine about his interpretation: ‘The testimony of an imagination that can only be found among the greatest conductors.’
