Renaud Capucon - Sons for Violin & Pno [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/28/2014

2021 marks 100 years since the death of Camille Saint-Saëns, one of the acknowledged masters of French music. Pianist Bertrand Chamayou, violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Edgar Moreau salute him with this album of three of his finest chamber works the Violin Sonata No 1, Cello Sonata No 1 and Piano Trio No 2. InchThese are splendid works,Inch says Bertrand Chamayou, Inchbut only relatively rarely performed and recorded. This is essential French Romantic chamber music and French performers of our generation have a duty to share it with audiences.Inch

Following his beloved and best-selling 2018 album of music from popular films, Renaud Capuçon returns to the magical world of cinema in Les Choses de la Vie - Cinema II. The violinist has dedicated this sequel to 19 titles written by French film composers or for iconic French films. This includes, among others, Michel Legrand's InchThe Windmills of Your MindInch featured on the 1968 soundtrack to The Thomas Crown Affair; Joseph Kosma's InchLes Feuilles mortesInch, or InchAutumn LeavesInch, heard in the 1946 film Les Portes de la nuit (Gates of the Night); and themes from the scores to The Shape of Water (2017) by Alexandre Desplat, Lawrence of Arabia (1962) by Maurice Jarre, Memories of Me (1988) by Georges Delerue, and Les Choses de la vie (1970) by Philippe Sarde, which inspired the project's name. InchThere's a great tradition of film music among French composers,Inch explains Renaud Capuçon. InchEach has their own personality, their own style. The music of Alexandre Desplat or Jean-Claude Petit has nothing in common with that of Gabriel Yared or François de Roubaix, but all these titles have a typically French touch and charm.Inch For this new cinematic musical experience, the French violinist has joined with the musicians of Les Siècles orchestra and conductor Duncan Ward.
