Yannick Nézet-Séguin & Serhiy Salov - Orchestre Métropolitain

Conductor

Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Piano

Serhiy Salov

Nothing is more moving than to hear artists play music that thrills them. Serhiy Salov, the pianist and the OM’s soloist in residence, performs Medtner’s Piano Concerto No. 1. A friend of Rachmaninoff and a Russian musical critic, Medtner devoted his life and art to classical musical in its most traditional form. Yannick Nézet-Séguin then conducts Tchaikovsky’s fourth symphony, nicknamed “Fate.” The imposing first movement sets the tone for this work of extraordinary emotional depth.
