Renaud Capuçon expands his wide-ranging concerto discography with Bartók's two violin concertos. Composed almost three decades apart, they are highly contrasted, inhabiting very different emotional and musical worlds. Partnering Capuçon is the London Symphony Orchestra under its Principal Guest Conductor, François-Xavier Roth.
"Capuçon's keen, lean lyricism in the solo part, and his chamber music-like rapport with the LSO's woodwind soloists, offer compelling perspectives on this well-known, if still not popular, music. Roth is a kindred spirit, responding to the emotional depth of Capuçon's solo line in the central andante tranquillo of the Second Concerto." Sunday Times
"There's an inexorable sincerity to Renaud Capuçon's violin playing together with glorious expression and imposing technical proficiency. At every point, the performances feel completely spontaneous. New on Erato Renaud Capuçon's performances in the Bartók concertos match any I've heard and are eminently recommendable." MusicWeb
