Globe reviews Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra

Maestro Riccardo Chailly

David Weininger reviewed Wednesday's performance by the the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra with Kapellmeister Riccardo Chailly and piano soloist Yundi Li for the Boston Globe:



"Chailly is an intensely physical conductor; he leads with large yet precise gestures that never seem showy or flamboyant. The rocketing string figure that begins "Don Juan" set the stage for a performance that was vital and exciting but also rigorously controlled and paced. The clarity of detail Chailly maintained, even in the most heavily scored parts, was a wonder."
