"Gautier Capuçon plays what many people love, and he plays it masterfully", wrote ndr. de about the exceptional cellist. To exhaust all facets of his instrument, he repeatedly breaks through the usual cello repertoire. On his current album Sensations Capuçon now presents cello arrangements of pieces from classical music, pop and chanson. "The cello is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful melodic instruments to travel and explore these different universes," reveals the famous Frenchman the origin of his love for discovery. "While I have been playing some of these pieces for a couple of years, others have been specially arranged for this new album".
With Sensations Gautier Capuçon focuses - even more than with his two previous popular successes Intuition and Emotions - on the rapid succession of varied musical jewels. Famous compositions from the pens of Puccini and Prokofiev are alternated with evergreens such as Singin' in the Rain, atmospheric classics from film music and popular chansons such as La Vie en Rose. Capuçon's accompaniment is as diverse as the works themselves: with his album the classical star primarily gives a platform to newcomers. Alongside the two celebrated new discoveries of Opus Klassik 2021, Egyptian soprano Fatma Said and trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary, six students from Capuçon's masterclass also perform alongside him. The promising young German conductor Johanna Malangré leads the Orchestre National de Bretagne.
