Le Violon Roi II

Description

After the success of the first volume released in 2013 (gold record), Renaud Capuçon returns with Le Violon Roi II. To mark his 50th birthday, the violinist explores his favorite repertoires in an anthology combining his major recordings from the last decade with 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks. The program spans classical masterpieces by Vivaldi, Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Dvorák or Grieg as well as French masters such as Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Massenet, Franck and Chausson. The album also showcases iconic film music by Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Michel Legrand, Georges Delerue, Alexandre Desplat or Charlie Chaplin, enhanced by arrangements full of finesse and subtlety.
