Prom 17: Nézet-Séguin/ Bavarian RSO
Royal Albert Hall, 31st July 2019
Pinch me. Hours after the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra’s second Prom of the season ended, I’m still floating on air somewhere high above South Kensington, grinning broadly at their outrageous performance of the Rosenkavalier Suite. With Yannick Nézet-Séguin practically hugging the music, arms drawing the players into his embrace, the Bavarians waltzed and whirled giddily, the delirium tumbling out into the Royal Albert Hall to infect the audience. Richard Strauss’ love letter to Vienna concluded a quite extraordinary evening.
