 SYMPHONY REVIEW: A Conductor and a Composer Apart By Robert P. Commanday (San Francisco Symphony, Yan Pascal Tortelier, ...
Like his father, the brilliant and utterly independent cellist Paul Tortelier, Yan Pascal is his own man. His conducting style is on the decorative side, effective if inefficient with a lot of “handies” and swirling gestures that have nothing to do with the case.
Tortelier took his ease and with such liberties and mannerism in attenuated tempo let-ups that, for all his adroitness, there was often loss of momentum.
And there was the balance problem, generic to Davies Hall and not Tortelier's fault, losing a lot of the sonority of the violins and of the splendid principal flute and oboe, buried behind a wall of violinists.
