Marvao Festival
Marvao, PortugalJul 2023At 25, Miguel Sepúlveda made his guest conductor debut with the Gulbenkian Orchestra. His careful direction full of elegance, his gestures clear as the waters of Rio Coura and sharp as the rocks of the Algarve, made him a talent to follow very very closely... We would be wise to bring him to France without delay. (...) All the desks breathing together, in a huge hundred-bar messa di voce. De la dentelle!
