François Leleux returns to the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra to conduct Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 5 with François-Frédéric Guy (Jan 25). Leleux, who appeared with the Orchestra in 2015 and 2016 for play-direct performances, will this time lead entirely from the podium as conductor.
Recent acclaim for Leleux as conductor includes performances with Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra in Salzburg last week:
“As a conductor, Leleux brings French elegance to Liszt’s leitmotif of Romanticism… The Orchestra shines with beautiful solos of the wind instruments, shows itself as a flexible sound body, led by Leleux with sparkling energy.” (Drehpunkt Kultur)
