This collaboration between Gautier Capuçon and the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Antonio Pappono offers us a unique and magical interpretation of the cello concertos by Edward Elgar and William Walton. When Gautier Capuçon discovers Elgar’s cello concerto, performed by Jacqueline du Pré, when he is only 7 years old, he understands the emotional intensity of this work and establishes a special connection with it. Antonio Pappano describes the cello concerto as a largely contemplative work, one of the most inspiring written by Elgar, which would long influence English composers. Gathered together on this album, one takes pleasure in listening to the wonderful contrasts and similarities that exist between the works of the two composers.
