Yannick Nézet-Séguin Today sees the release of Canadian conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin's latest album, "Johannes Brahms: The Symphonies."
For over ten years, Nézet-Séguin and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (COE) have come together every summer in the German spa town of Baden-Baden. In 2021, they performed a complete Beethoven symphony cycle there, which was released the following year by Deutsche Grammophon. In the summer of 2022, Nézet-Séguin took over the direction of the newly founded La Capitale d’Été festival at the Festspielhaus. During residencies that summer and the following summer, the COE and Nézet-Séguin dedicated themselves to the symphonies of Brahms, recording all four works and presenting them in concerts that were enthusiastically received by audiences. These recordings are now available both digitally and as a three-CD set.
