VARIOUS FRENCH COMPOSERS
Gautier Capucon - Destination Paris
Gautier Capucon (cello), Jérôme Ducros (piano & harpsichord) / Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, Maîtrise de Radio France, Lionel Bringuier
[ Erato Classics / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 10 November 2023
"This is a lighthearted romp through French pop culture, with fromage aplenty. Accompanied variously by pianist Jérôme Ducros and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris." BBC Music
A concept album of laidback repertoire from popular film melodies to French chansons to classical pieces - including "La Foule" by Édith Piaf, the main theme from Summer of '42 by Michel Legrand, "Beau soir" by Debussy, Sicilienne by Fauré, and "Chi Mai" by Ennio Morricone.
Recorded with pianist Jérôme Ducros, the Maîtrise de Radio France, and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris under conductor Lionel Bringuier.
Jean Jacques Goldman, one of France's most popular songwriters and composers, wrote a new song for this album, "Pense à nous", for cello, children's choir and orchestra and made a special arrangement of his "Envole-moi"
The perfect soundtrack for the 2024 Olympic Games!
"This is a lighthearted romp through French pop culture, with fromage aplenty. Accompanied variously by pianist Jérôme Ducros and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris under Lionel Bringuier, Capuçon is evidently having fun. He makes his cello sing characterfully." BBC Music
"With Jerôme Ducros as his indefatigable keyboard player and arranger, 'Destination Paris' is an agreeable aperitif of things to come." Gramophone
