An overture, a concerto and a symphony: Perfect proportions from the CBSO, Michael Seal and Peter Donohoe
Arthur Keegan-Bole, 14th December
Rarely have I seen a conductor so excited! On completion of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Michael Seal looked like the cat that got the cream – and rightly so. He had just launched his audience into this concert with a terrific bang.
