Three-time Grammy Award-winning pianist and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin is the Music and Artistic Director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestre Métropolitain, and Music Director (aka David's boss) at The Metropolitan Opera where he's just the third person to hold this position in the company's long 140-year history. In the episode—recorded backstage at Carnegie Hall—Yannick discusses the primary role of a conductor, his calm and friendly demeanor while on the podium (spoiler: he doesn't know how to be mean!), how he became inspired to conduct at age 10, and why he reclaimed his love for the piano during the pandemic. Yannick shares the importance of taking every opportunity to perform seriously and his deep belief that music can connect and transform anyone who listens.Check out Yannick Nézet-Séguin on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Apple Music, or the web.Follow Speaking Soundly on Instagram.Follow David on Instagram.You can find out more about Artful Narratives Media on Instagram and the web.Photograph of Yannick by George Etheredge.The Speaking Soundly theme song is composed by Joseph Saba/Stewart Winter and used by permission of Videohelper.Speaking Soundly was co-created by David Krauss and Jessica Handelman.

Interpreten: The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézét-Séguin Label: DG EAN: 0028948647750 Yannick Nézét-Séguin gehört zu den wichtigsten Dirigenten Generation (noch) unter Fünfzig. Als Chefdirigent des Philadelphia Orchestra und des kanadischen Orchestre Métropolitain sowie Musikdirektor der Metropolitan Opera in New York spielt sich sein berufliches Leben, abgesehen von diversen Gastspielen in Europa, vorwiegend jenseits des „großen Teiches“ ab. Mit seinem Philadelphia Orchestra ist er kürzlich auch wieder auf CD in den Mittelpunkt gerückt, mit den Symphonien zwei und drei auf seiner neuen Rachmaninow Doppel-CD. Yannick Nézét-Séguin dürfte an Sergej Rachmaninow, wie man auf gut Wienerisch so schön sagt, einen Narren gefressen haben. 2015 begleitete er erstmals den Pianisten Daniil Trifonov bei den Rachmaninow Variationen, mit dem er sich dann ab 2018 auf zwei CDs auch der Destination Rachmaninow annäherte. 2021 erschien dann mit der ersten Symphonie und den symphonischen Tänzen die erste CD mit reinen Orchesterwerken und nun legt Nézét-Séguin mit den Rachmaninow'schen Symphonien zwei und drei, sowie der Tondichtung „Die Toteninsel“ nach. Mein erster Gedanke beim Anhören dieser CD war, wieso reden eigentlich immer alle nur von Rachmaninows Klaviermusik, wenn er doch eigentlich auch so geniale Orchestermusik geschrieben hat. Tiefgründig, schwermütig und vorwiegend düster die zweite Symphonie. Von der russischen Presse nach der Uraufführung mit dem Untertitel „Mütterchen Russlands gesammelter Weltschmerz in e-Moll“ versehen. Schwermut ja, aber auch absoluter Schwung, orchestrale Rafinesse und dann ein Adagio, das dann ja doch auch wieder spätromantisch versöhnlich klingt. Mit kräftigem Zugriff, aber nie ins Brutale abgleitend, sattem Streicherklang und wohl dosiertem, jedoch auch manchmal losgelassenem Blech auch die Dritte. Ein Werk, das Rachmaninow Mitte der 30er Jahre im Exil am Vierwaldstätter See skizzierte. Uraufgeführt wurde sie dann übrigens vom Philadelphia Orchestra, unter Leopold Stokowski und ist somit fest in der DNA des Orchesters verankert. Das ist spannende Musik allererster Güte, die einen nicht so schnell loslässt. (mg)
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director of New York's Metropolitan Opera, The Philadelphia Orchestra and Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain, makes his solo piano debut on record for DG with an album entitled 'Introspection'. Recorded during lockdown near his home in Montreal, the album is dedicated to his late piano teacher Anisia Campos. James Jolly spoke to Yannick Nézet-Séguin about 'Introspection' but also about his relationship with the piano from his early years studying it to how he can keep it part of his busy schedule as one of the world's most sought-after conductors. This solo album follows a recent recording of Schubert's Winterreise with the mezzo Joyce DiDonato (who also spoke to us about the project for another Gramophone Podcast). The Philadelphia Orchestra is currently Gramophone's Orchestra of the Year.
The fine folks at WNYC's fabulous opera podcast Aria Code recently reached out about doing a cross-promotion with Strong Songs, and now here we are, running an episode of their show in the Strong Songs feed. If you enjoy it, you should definitely go check out the show - Aria Code is very easy to find on all major podcast platforms. ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES (via Aria Code) Aired: March 10, 2021 Sometimes, the only thing that gets us through the darkest moments is knowing that the sun will rise again on a new day. Puccini's final opera, Turandot, is about courage in the face of adversity, and love triumphing over fear. In other words, it is exactly what the world needs right now. The aria “Nessun dorma” is Prince Calaf’s declaration of love and resounding victory cry. In this episode, host Rhiannon Giddens and three guests explore what makes this aria so popular even beyond the opera house, and how it became an anthem of resilience and hope during the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode features Italian tenor Franco Corelli in a Metropolitan Opera performance from the Before Times (a.k.a. 1966). The Guests: Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin is the Music Director of the Metropolitan Opera, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Orchestre Métropolitain in Montreal. He loves conducting Puccini’s biggest, most majestic opera, but his favorite moments are the intimate arias like “Nessun dorma.” Writer Anne Midgette is the former classical music critic for The Washington Post. She first heard the aria on a Book of the Month Club cassette tape in college, and thinks the secret sauce for “Nessun Dorma” is in its climactic underdog declaration of “Vincerò” -- “I will win.” Dr. Michael Cho is a pulmonary and critical care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and has been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s also a violist, and has been playing with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra for more than 15 years. Recently, he joined the National Virtual Medical Orchestra, a group that formed during COVID to give people in the medical field a chance to play together. Watch their performance of "Nessun Dorma" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOKW42q7HWE&feature=emb_logo In April of 2020, 700 children across Europe sang a virtual performance of "Nessun dorma" as a message of hope and solidarity, from Europa InCanto.

In this episode, we're ending Season 1 of The Mind Over Finger Podcast with a truly spectacular artist! I speak with violin sensation Kerson Leong about his terrific YouTube series The Art of the Etude, his wise and meaningful practicing methods, and how he approaches violin mastery, and musical expression. Kerson has an amazingly authentic and profound approach to music making and I KNOW you will love this episode! SEASON 2 COMING YOUR WAY ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2019! STAY TUNED! In the show, Kerson elaborates on: His journey from starting at the age of four and a half to winning the Menuhin Competition at the age of 13 How winning Menuhin was the start of a very long process that lead to him exploring and finding his independence in terms of how to think about music, devise his own solutions to technical problems, and develop his instinct The importance of knowing about the tradition and thinking for ourselves His incredible YouTube series “The Art of the Etude” How etudes allow us to develop our technique and musicality, and teach us so much about how to learn and how to practice How etudes were a real grounding force in his development How we can use etudes to develop musicality How etudes are our “playground” to work on all aspect of performing – technical and musical alike His practicing processes Knowing exactly what his goal is when he enters the practice room Having a clear idea in his head of what he wants to execute on the instrument Keeping the transitions between notes executed as if they were at full speed when practicing slowly Never neglect the right hand when working on difficult left-hand passages How important it is for him to focus on how relaxed and efficient his body is at all times when he practices – analyzing motions and figuring out what works best How letting go of the shoulder rest lead him to a depth of analysis in his physical approach to playing the violin His approach to mental practice More about Kerson: Website: http://kersonleong.com/ YouTube channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8nlRLl9jFBGaPGWMbJ5bvQ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kersonleong/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kersonleong/ Violin Channel Young Artist page: https://theviolinchannel.com/vc-young-artist-kerson-leong-violin/ Violin Channel Facebook artist page: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2129174167156547 Biography Kerson Leong first took the music world by storm in 2010 by winning the coveted Junior First Prize at the prestigious Menuhin Competition. Ever since, the young Canadian violinist has astonished and won over both fellow musicians and audiences alike the world over with his rare and innovative mastery of his instrument, his natural ability to convey the subtlest of emotions, and the colossal scope of his live performances. Having been called “Canada's next great violinist” (Ludwig van Toronto), he has distinguished himself with his unique approach as one of the most brilliant musicians of his generation. In the 2018/2019 season, Kerson is Artist-in-Residence with the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montreal under Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Other highlights to look forward to this season include his debuts with the Sinfonieorchester Wuppertal, Liège Royal Philharmonic, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and London Symphonia.

Together with his dad, he has given lectures about this subject in places such as the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing, the Barratt-Due Music Institute in Oslo, and various universities in California.

Today, I'm really excited to have Canadian pianist David Jalbert on the show! David is an extraordinary person, a brilliant artist, and a very dear friend! We have a great conversation and cover many topics, from finding yourself as an artist, to the importance of confidence in our progress, and how to learn and memorize music.

With his personal style, incomparable stage presence, and refined ear, he has wowed audiences and critics everywhere: “a deeply musical pianist” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), “a virtuoso in the best sense of the word” (La Presse), “…wide-ranging musical imagination, phenomenal technique, and an unerring lightness of being” (The Toronto Star). His first solo disc, dedicated to the works of Corigliano and Rzewski (in preparation for which he worked with both composers), was launched to great applause on Endeavor in 2004 and was followed in 2006 by a recording of Fauré's complete Nocturnes (a winning selection on La Tribune des Critiques de Disques, France-Culture). His 2008 release on the ATMA label, Shostakovich: 24 Preludes and Fugues opus 87, drew rave reviews, won an Opus Award, and was nominated for a Juno Award. He followed it up with an album dedicated to works by minimalist greats John Adams and Philip Glass (2010), and his 2012 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations was met with unanimous praise. He recorded works by Poulenc and Satie on “Le Comble de la Distinction” (2015) and virtuosic transcriptions of Russian ballets by Stravinsky and Prokofiev in 2017, which earned him another Juno nomination. An accomplished chamber musician in both the hall and the studio, his releases include Poulenc's music for winds and piano (with the woodwind quintet Pentaèdre) as well as the Rachmaninov and Chopin Cello Sonatas with his long-standing musical partner Denise Djokic. With violinist Jasper Wood and cellist Denise Djokic, he is also a member of Triple Forte, a piano trio whose first recording was awarded a 2014 Prix Opus (Album of the Year). Jalbert has also collaborated with violinist Rachel Barton Pine, the Cecilia and Alcan string quartets, double-bassist Joel Quarrington (on another Opus-winning collaboration, the album Brothers in Brahms as well as a Schubert album) and with pianists Anton Kuerti, Wonny Song and Jean-Philippe Collard. As guest soloist, Jalbert has appeared with many orchestras, including the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Calgary Philharmonic, Orchestre Métropolitain, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra, CBC Radio Orchestra, Bielefelder Philharmoniker, Gauteng Philarmonic and National Symphony of Ireland and others. He has collaborated with conductors Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Christoph Campestrini, Skitch Henderson, Jacques Lacombe, Bramwell Tovey, Mario Bernardi, Peter Kuhn, David Currie, Marc David, Dinuk Wijeratne and others and has performed in Canada, the United States, Mexico, South Africa and Europe. Jalbert's repertoire is expansive, and he plays Bach, Brahms, Stravinsky or Ligeti with equal pleasure. David Jalbert can be heard regularly on CBC Radio and Radio-Canada broadcasts, not only as a pianist, but also as a guest commentator. A national and international prize-winner, David Jalbert was the 2007 winner of the prestigious Virginia Parker Prize of the Canada Council for the Arts, has been awarded five Prix Opus by the Conseil Québécois de la Musique, was nominated for four Juno Awards, and is now an Associate Professor of piano at the University of Ottawa. He holds two Artist Diplomas: one from the Juilliard School in New York, the other from the Glenn Gould Professional School (Toronto). He received his Master's Degree from the Université de Montréal at age 21, winning the Governor General's Gold Medal (awarded yearly to the top graduate student of the University). His main teachers have been Jerome Lowenthal, Marc Durand, André Laplante, and Pauline Charron. He has also worked with Leon Fleisher, John Perry, Claude Frank, Gilbert Kalish, and Marylin Engle.

In this episode, I chat with Marina Thibeault, solo violist and chamber musician. We discuss mindfulness, presence, and efficiency in the practice room, the importance of letting the music sing when we play, and her upcoming new recording featuring works by women composers. Her and I also have a little surprise for our French speaking listeners: we will continue the discussion in French following the English! Marina's approach to music making is authentic and fresh, and her insight on musicality is spot on! I'm sure you will enjoy her point of view and get a lot of value from this episode! Marina elaborates on: Her beginnings on the violin, deeply rooted in French Canadian folk music How yoga was an integral part of her violin routine from the very beginning Her studies, from the Quebec Conservatory to the Curtis Institute, studying with Michael Tree When and why she switched to viola Her work with a sport psychologist How she plans her practice How knowing yourself is important in planning your work How planning helps her being more present in her practice and keeps her focused What being present in the practice room means to her: listening and singing Her advice on how to start listening to ourselves How working on musicality is more like “option adventure” rather than “problem-solving” How it was to work with Michael Tree – how he trusted and nurtured all of his students, and how he was teaching “a lifestyle” How she picked the pieces for her upcoming album: all written by female composers How she feels there's a need for more room for female composers How she practiced creativity and feeling free in the practice room in preparation for her first album How being a good human is good!
