Info for Sibelius & Barber: Violin Concertos
On his new album, Renaud Capuçon brings together two masterpieces of the 20th century, loved by all violinists for their sonorous and effective opportunities to show off their skills, and at the same time feared for their challenges: the violin concerto by the Finn Jean Sibelius and its counterpart, written 30 years later by the American Samuel Barber. Nordic melancholy meets the indulgent carefree spirit of a young genius, combined with the highest degree of virtuosity - and therefore ideal repertoire for an exceptional musician like Renaud Capuçon.
Together with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and conductor Daniel Harding, the French violinist turns to the core repertoire of his instrument with these immortal classics. As a musician, he has the ideal prerequisites to fill the contrasting programme with spirit and soul. As far as Barber's Violin Concerto, premiered in 1941, is concerned, it is not only admiration for the masterful score that Capuçon associates with this piece, but also a very personal relationship with his instrument: ‘I discovered this concerto by Samuel Barber on a recording by Isaac Stern, which moved me very much because Stern played it on the violin that I now play.’ The magic of this close connection is one of the many wonders to be heard on this recording.
