Yannick Nézet-Séguin has won rave reviews for his masterful interpretations of
Bruckner’s symphonies both at home and as far afield as Australia. Recently appointed
music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic, Nézet-Séguin’s performances of Bruckner
have been praised for“the vividness and ardour of his reading[s]” (Sydney Morning
Herald). This highly-anticipated recording of Bruckner’s monumental 7th symphony
was made following a series of live performances of the work with the Orchestre
Métropolitain du Grand Montréal last September. “Like all good Bruckner interpreters
[Nézet-Séguin] made the abrupt … changes of gear sound natural and unforced, giving
the impression of a mighty planet gradually orbiting around its axis.” Peter McCallum,
