 SYMPHONY N° 3  Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal Yannick Nézet-Séguin ACD2 2700 • Following his award-winning recordings of Anton Bruckner's symphonies (Nos. 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) with the Orchestre Métropolitain, superstar conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin turns to the Austrian master's Symphony No. 3 for the sixth CD in their Bruckner symphony cycle on ATMA Classique. • The previous Bruckner symphony recordings have been met with unanimous praise around the world, and Nézet-Séguin is making a name for himself as a superb Bruckner conductor: • “This is indeed music making with a true sense of grandeur. It seems that everything Nézet-Séguin and the OM choose to play turns to gold, and this disc is no exception. It's a must-have for devotees of Bruckner's music, and it may even sway those who up to now have stayed away. Highly recommended.” — The Wholenote • “This is a very beautiful Bruckner Fourth Symphony, by an increasingly interesting Bruckner conductor. It's refreshing to hear Bruckner's orchestral writing brought to life on so many levels, captured faithfully by the recording.” — BBC Music Magazine • “This is one of the best of the lot, impeccably paced and played with utter conviction. The players sound far more engaged than the Montreal Symphony Orchestra has of late, and Nézet-Séguin manages to find a rich breadth of dynamic range without ever making the score sound gaudy.” — Toronto Star • Yannick Nézet-Séguin is one of the most sought after young conductors in the world. He is the Music Director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, a post he assumed in September 2012. He is also Music Director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, and Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestre Métropolitain of Montreal, a position he has held since March 2000. He has also been Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra since 2008.
