About
With the release of Symphony No. 2 performed by the Orchestre Métropolitain under the direction of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, ATMA Classique continues its cycle of the complete symphonies of Anton Bruckner. Nézet-Séguin was recently appointed Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a post he will assume in 2020. The previous recordings of Bruckner's symphonies by the OM/YNS team have won unanimous praise from critics worldwide, and have established Nézet-Séguin as a brilliant conductor of Bruckner. "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
