"Capuçon's elegant, singing tone responds especially well to the Andante, with gentle exchanges between the instruments." Gramophone Magazine

"Capuçon's elegant, singing tone responds especially well to the Andante, with gentle exchanges between the instruments. Prokofiev's Sonata may seem an unusual coupling but it contrasts nicely, with it's own latent lyricism and with the cheerful central Moderato that has all the harmonic wit and melodic charm of the composer at his best." Gramophone Magazine, February 2008

Gautier's recordings for Virgin Classics include Haydn Cello Concertos with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under Daniel Harding, and with Renaud a number of works by Brahms - the Double Concerto (with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester and Myung-Whun Chung), Clarinet Quintet and Trios, the Ravel Trio, Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet, Face à face and Inventions (both albums of duos) and a hugely popular version of Saint-Saëns' Carnaval des animaux.
