On his Saint Saëns video I made a silly comment about his great talent being matched by his great hair. The comment got many likes leading me back to the video many times, I have listened to the concert again and again and really enjoyed it. Just goes to show the power of great hair.

The greatest Cello Concerto of all time.

I listened to this in bed this morning as I suffer from anxiety and depression and sometimes find it hard to face the day. Suddenly at the end of the piece I shivered so I am alive after all. Thanks be to God for composers and musicians. You are so powerful, being able to bring life and light to the spirit. Blessings and peace be yours.

Très belle interprétation de Gautier Capuçon bien accompagné par Paavo Järvi à la tête de l'orcherstre de Paris.
De la finesse mais aussi de la puissance quand c'est nécessaire ; bref une très belle version !!!

He's gotten even better in the last five years. I heard him tonight with the NY Philharmonic, playing Dvorak. I had a front row center seat directly in front of him, eight feet away. It was a shocking surreal experience. And it was without doubt the finest cello playing I've ever heard. Perfect intonation every second and he played with the most gorgeous and FULL POWERFUL tone imaginable. I'll never forget it. Most astonishing was his utter command and breathtaking expressiveness. And he was as calm and cool as can be. Not a bead of sweat on him. (Like we see in this video.) I have no words for the level of devotion and confidence he exuded playing this piece. I could LIVE in such moments. If only there were more of them in our musical world today.

We live in a dangerous, often sad world. Thank you Gautier and Paavo for helping us to forget about it....at least for a little while.

You never hear anyone mention anything about blend on concertos... because people are like it's the soloist. He's so aware, sensitive and considerate of the accompaniment he blends down to balance the sound when his part isn't as important I really respect. That's intense musical maturity, however I don't feel like he does that so people can say that. He does that so he can enjoy it:) that's a musician of the highest caliber. It's a modesty lack of an ego. It's Dvorak not Capucon. Wow. Bravo!!

Some cellists have a tendancy to bully through this concerto but Gautier manages to make more of the beautiful melodic passages than say Rostropovich or Piatigorsky whilst still keeping the powerful passages as such. A performance with a huge amount of integrity on his part.

Classical music has this incredible ability to transport you to different eras and evoke a sense of nostalgia. Each piece tells a unique story, and the mastery of the composers shines through, creating an immersive experience that resonates through time.

Z celého srdce děkuji za tuto úžasnou nahrávku 😊❤

[nelahozeves]

This is the kind of thing that regular TV should broadcast. When did we stop to improve ourselves by means of the media?

[cristina]

J'admire le chef d'orchestre et la concentration de Gautier Capuçon !!! Quelle splendeur,

[MiaFeigelsonGallery]

Happy birthday, Antonín Dvořák ! This Cello Concerto is as intense and powerful as it is poetic and lyrical... Gautier Capuçon's performance is brilliant to say the least !!!
Bravo to the Orchestre de Paris and to the Conductor Paavo Järvi as well and thanks for this Video !!!
