Renaud Capuçon (Guarneri del Gesù, 1737 violin) & Jérôme Ducros (piano) Renaud Capuçon is following in the footsteps of the great violinists of the past century, such as Heifetz, Kreisler and Menuhin, with this virtuoso programme of compositions, transcriptions and arrangements for the violin and piano, recorded in the Lugano Festival 2007. “It seems there is nothing Capuçon cannot do. He maintains the same level of tonal purity and lustrousness at all dynamic levels across all four strings… His phrasing and timing is immaculate, his intonation ear-ringingly true and - especially important in this repertoire - his exquisitely subtle use of portamento is such as to rival even Kreisler and Heifetz.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 ***** “Not since the emergence of Vengerov and Repin has such an exciting young violinist come our way.” International Record Review “Capuçon’s violin transcriptions rarely disappoint. If it’s not his fervour that amazes, it’s his delicacy. Elgar’s La Capricieuse is a melting wonder, Prokofiev’s Masks a bracing stomp. The programming sprinkles the firecrackers with pensive surprises (Roxana’s Song from Szymanowski), waltzing Strauss, and the finale is unusually reflective – two Schumann songs. A delight.” The Times, 18th April 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

As Richard Wigmore notes in his characteristically scholarly and elegant booklet essay, ‘Fischer-Dieskau’s narrative flair, mastery of word-painting and gift for fixing a scene in the mind’s ear made him a natural for the ballads of Carl Loewe, a composer once well described as a 19th-century incarnation of a medieval strolling minstrel’. Digitally remastered in 2007 The great German baritone made these recordings – with Wolfgang Sawallisch at the piano in the Mendelssohn, Gerald Moore in the Loewe – in Berlin in 1970 and 1967 respectively.
This is the first time the LP of Loewe’s Ballads has appeared in its entirety on CD. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
