For this new exploration of the immense and rich repertoire of music, my guide was...Paris. Absolute capital, cosmopolitan, poetic and ingenuous, swirling and cultivated, rhythm-driven by multiple inspirations, Paris, timeless, Paris, city of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Paris, inviting Rameau and adopting Offenbach, welcoming Cosma and paying homage to Debussy, Fauré or Ravel. Paris, saluting the premiere of Carmen and the first steps of Franz Lehár, humming Francis Lai and Michel Legrand, walking hand in hand with Edith Piaf and Yves Montand. And Jean-Jacques Goldman, for whom I have held a particular admiration since childhood thanks to Aude, my older sister, honors us with an original song, Pense à nous. This album is the diary of that journey, my Paris and yours, crossing all styles and all eras. An endless reverie where each work welcomes another. I entrusted, once again, the cello arrangements to my faithful accomplice, Jérôme Ducros, accompanied by the Orchestre de chambre de Paris under the direction of my friend Lionel Bringuier."--- Gautier Capuçon ---After the successes of 'Emotions' (80,000 sales), 'Sensations' released in November 2022 (45,000 sales) and its summer tour which brought together more than 25,000 spectators, here is 'Destination Paris', the new event album by the cellist celebrating Paris and French music: Michel Legrand, Claude Debussy, Georges Brassens, Francis Lai, Maurice Ravel, Edith Piaf, Vladimir Cosma, Georges Bizet...Includes an original track by Jean-Jacques Goldman composed specially for the occasion and sung by the Maîtrise de Radio France.Cover photo of the album: Nikos Aliagas The classical album of the year-end!
