Gautier Capuçon et les Capucelli

Marie Jacquot & Gautier Capuçon

“Significant, original, mature in its form”: thus Hans von Bülow waxed lyrical at the young Richard Strauss’s Symphony in F minor. Before achieving worldwide fame with his tone-poems, Strauss wrote two classical four-movement symphonies rarely heard in today’s concert halls. Even the BRSO is giving its very first performance of the Second Symphony, a blend of youthful bravado and masterly craftsmanship. A biographical counterpart to this symphony is Elgar’s elegiac Cello Concerto of 1918-19, whose introverted orchestral sound and long, pensive melodic lines from the soloist exude an atmosphere of farewell and nostalgia. The French conductor Marie Jacquot, designated chief conductor of the Royal Danish Theatre Copenhagen, is using this programme to make her BRSO début. She will also introduce the audience to a piece by the Scottish composer David Horne: The Turn of the Tide, after a painting by John Duncan.

Renaud Capuçon & Friends

French violinist and conductor Renaud Capuçon likes to encourage musical encounters and mix generations. With Paul Zientara, Julia Hagen and Guillaume Bellom, he shares Fauré and two rarely performed gems from post-Romantic repertoire.

Renaud Capuçon / Igor Levit

A long-awaited collaboration between celebrated French violinist Renaud Capuçon and the always-ambitious piano virtuoso Igor Levit. Together, they tackle Brahms’ three Sonatas for Violin and Piano—a concentration of poetry, brilliance and heroism.

Les voyageuses

Inspired by Clara Schumann’s encounter with several of her female contemporaries, Franco-Belgian soprano Marianne Croux, together with Pierre and Théo Fouchenneret, explores a Romantic Europe torn between passionate fervour and modernist dazzle.

Wiener Symphoniker / Gautier Capuçon / Petr Popelka

It was love at first sight for Gautier Capuçon: he had hardly picked up his first cello when he knew that he had found his instrument. »I love the position you sit in to play and the way you embrace the cello,« he said in an interview. And the listener notices this deeply personal connection between the artist and his instrument to this day when the Frenchman, in the meantime an international star, works his musical magic in concert. One of the core pieces in his repertoire is the Dvořák Cello Concerto, whose highy emotional language Capuçon illuminates in Hamburg in powerful colours. After the interval, listeners travel from Czechoslovakia to Germany: with Richard Strauss’s sensuous »Don Juan« and his mischievous »Till Eulenspiegel«, shooting star Petr Popelka and the Wiener Symphoniker bring to life two of music history’s most eccentric heroes.
