Yannick Nézet-Séguin - Rotterdam Philharmonic

[lovingee1]

He looks like a kid and not like a Conductor. He is NO Dudamel. But for the Netherlands I am sure he is fine. Way too unsophisticated for New York.

Violin solos by Kees Hülsmann. Beatiful!

[verygrumpyoldman]

I'm glad to see that the Rotterdam Symphony are recruiting ex-Mafia convicts, judging by his horrendous fashion sense... Time to have a long and hard look at yourself in the mirror Mr Seguin!

[mikabrains]

@verygrumpyoldman thats terribly superficial. I suppose you dont like Paavo Jarvi because he looks like Putin? Stick to the music please.

[verygrumpyoldman]

@mikabrains God knows I'm trying to stick to the music. but Mr Seguin ruins practically every performance he ever gives (not to mention interviews: the poor lad talks and thinks like a twat). Mr Seguin must feel eternally grateful to his agents for having such a 'successful' career. What do these agents see in him that is so promising? That is a question many of us ask ourselves.

Dear Yannick,

Please GTFO of my city.

Thanks in advance.

[Gyurme25]

Terrible to watch....I agree with the mymusic0201, is better to hear and not watch

[brha5]

Wow! Starting at 2:55 this conductor is over conducting and is too flamboyant in my opinion. He shouldn't become the center of attention. On the other hand, the orchestra sounds great.

[ipley]

What a passion, great to watch!

[trombonejuggle]

Welcome to Philadelphia Yannick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KamyR0cks]

Il est parfaitement génial. Il a déjà percé si loin dans l'domaine ^^

[tedildotter]

A great conductor full of promises and sensibility. You're lucky to have him Rotterdam!

[Opoczynski]

Never a score. Freedom to communicate.

[pattipage12]

A brilliant Carmen at the Met.

[pitousca]

Another great talented from Montreal, Qc Canada. :-)

[halneufmille]

Excellent conducting.

[allenst]

most of those old turds in audience hae no idea what they are seeing, hearing or experiencing. if you got business to do, are wealthy and retired, if you want to pretend to be a fan--then you are here. honestly i would be so fuckin aslep as to not even be woken by the constant coughing and old fart tendancies

[cchamp27]

a little too indulgent for my personal tastes. i think the soloists know how to phrase somethign without him waving a stick in their faces. int he second clip his passion and energy is great for the group though, that would sure fire me up.

[allenst]

said like a typical, negative classical snob. you may have spent time around the art yet your comment wreaks of 'Monday morning quarterback'

[cchamp27]

@allenst

what? I said "for my tastes". That means I recognize and respect that he could be a wonderful conductor from another musician's point of view. I also had 1 negative comment and 1 positive comment, so I can barely comprehend how that makes me a "negative classical snob". on the whole I admire his energy and conducting.

[MyMusic0201]

@cchamp27

Always a fine line between leading and following. The classical dilemma for every conductor. As long as the outcome is fine, the method is unimportant. One should judge a conductor with your eyes closed :-)

[turbofreddy]

I know him and he IS great! He always inspires the orchestra, the choir and the soloist, without mentioning the audience!

[macedonwise]

Whats happening with the phrasing? Its like conducting with the tape. No sense of form. Just a lots of huge movements and sweat.

[nerakalove]

@macedonwise Idk Lol I guess he loves music more then you .

[macedonwise]

@nerakalove If that what art is, then we are ok. It is not, I am afraid. It needs much more.

[nerakalove]

@macedonwise What art Fool . This Fool Just Rolling and Showing Passion . haha Which you may have none is what i meant read Carefully next time... lol

@martinusB95

why is this comment removed? O-o

[geoffdellow]

Brilliant conductor. Thanks for the prom tonight. Pity about the catty comments - that's the Internet for you - from people with no life to lead themselves.

Let's instead be inspired and be great in our own way!

..................no..........­.............

[macabrocabrontrombon]

exelente director de orquesta, tambien la orquesta exelente, yo tuve la oportunidad de escuchar esta orquesta en una gira con una orquesta mexicana a lla en holanda

[princessebrune]

he must have looked simon Rattle for hours, because he is copying every mouvements of Simon !!!even the mouth open !!!

would be nice if he finds his own personnality one day...

[turbofreddy]

Try to truly abandon yourself with your mouth closed... it doesn't really come naturally...

[MisterQuizzz]

C'est tout un chef pour succéder à Valéry Gergiev, bientôt il succédera à Abbado.

[airsonic8]

素晴らしい。。ハーディングといい、75年は当たり年かも。

[zxulokulinana]

很傑出的演出  古光明

Yannick is one of the best! Working with him is a treat! He has a special gift in that he can bring out the best in everyone he works with.
